Manage episode 482633487 series 3662581
Even our AI assistant had trouble titling this one! But in this second episode, Mick and David picked up their discussion of the major factors disrupting modern publishing, hitting some highlights:
- Big mergers and their impact on book acquisitions
- How authors (and small publishers) can deal with truncated selling cycles
- Why publishing has become so much more dependent on author publicity
- and How personal stories (memoirs & author-centered nonfiction) are making a comeback
We close out with some hope that cultural conversations can take center stage in small grassroots publishing again, as the shifting landscape grows ever more diverse...come along!
