Understand that the publisher will do initial print runs somewhere between 5,000-10,000. They are doing calculations much more sophisticated than these to determine if your project is worth it. To get them interested, you must show them how their bottom line will be affected to the positive, if they take your book on.

Many publishers or agents will ask you to do a Market Analysis of your book, that is because they don't care about content as much as they care about profit.

It isn't their job to make you rich, it is your job to show them why they should partner with you in a potentially profitable endeavor.
