GLIMPSES OF THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CORPORATE PUBLISHING IN AMERICA TODAY

4 Comments

Categories: Adventures in Publishing

What really goes on in the mightiest publishing corporations?

What dark conspiracies are spawned in their sinister board meetings, way up in the high floors of their skyscrapers?

What really goes on behind closed doors, among the power players who shape today’s book market?

To answer these troublesome questions, every now and then we’ll include some ACTUALLY HEARD moments from within the corporate publishing world! Yes, really heard! Some by me, and others reported by reliable sources, friends and friends of friends. No, seriously. Really heard. And the identities of the people mentioned shall be (ever so slightly) concealed.

    And of course Lizzy returns from Barnes & Noble with a stack of their most prevalent GN’s: all superheroes, save for one funny animal book.

    Most prevalent? That would be a bunch of manga, then.. ;)
