Digital-first vs paperback publishing

December 17, 2017December 17, 2017 phoebemorganauthor18 Comments

As some of you might know, I am a big fan of digital publishing - my Kindle is my prized possession, it goes everywhere with me and the day my old one broke was a very dark day indeed (luckily, I got a new one WITH A BACKLIGHT)! As a commissioning editor, I have to… Continue reading Digital-first vs paperback publishing

Two new posts on The Honest Editor - one is an interview with @rosieelizabethwelsh, a Literary Scout at Eccles Fisher. She tells us all about how scouting works and what it involves! Then today’s is all about money - how publishing runs its finances and how authors are paid. I hope they are useful! πŸ’°πŸŒπŸ“š Thank you to my almost 5,000 subscribers - you can subscribe for free if you want to ensure you don’t miss a post! πŸ₯° #thehonesteditor #books #literaryscouting #publishing #publishingindustry #finances #authorpay #ecclesfisher #transparencyinpublishing #booksofinstagram #substack #workinbooks
That’s our show, goodnight! Amazing few months with @dulwich_players performing our show Blue Stockings by @jessicaswale! Our performances were last week and it was such a privilege to be the assistant director and act in this show with such a brilliant talented cast. The story of the Girton girls and their fight for graduation rights is well worth reading on about, though be warned it will make you sad and angry! πŸŽ­πŸ’œπŸ‘–πŸ“šπŸŽ“πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“#bluestockings #jessicaswale #amdram #southlondon #dulwichplayerz #drama #acting #directing #girtoncollegecambridge #graduationrights #womensrights #cambridge #university #girtongirls
Today on The Honest Editor there is a new interview with @cltaylorauthor - one of the best in the biz! Cally is so generous with her time and insights, detailing her career path to being a multiple Sunday Times bestseller, the highs and lows of writing full-time, and her top tips for authors. She talks about the importance of marketing yourself via newsletters, about being dropped by her first publisher, about why publishers need to listen to authors who know their readership, and about moving publishers recently for her upcoming novel, Notes on An Obsession. I used to edit Cally back at HarperCollins and I adore her books. Go read them! And read this Substack, please and thank you. πŸ₯°πŸ“šβœοΈ #ClTaylor #publishing #books #suspensebooks #authors #writinglife #thehonesteditor #transparency

It’s not every day you get to publish a superstar like @themillyjohnson! Milly is such an inspiring, hard-working author, beloved by readers, and you are in for SUCH a treat with Let the Bells Ring Out! Set on a train that stalls in a snowy storm, leaving our passengers stranded with only their secrets, thoughts and pasts for company, it is by turns thought-provoking, heart-warming, smart and sad. I loved the cast of characters, the cosy (at times!) feel of the train, and the way Milly manages to pull us into her story with such ease and grace. A privilege to publish and the perfect Christmas buy! Out in hardback today. πŸš‚β„οΈπŸŽ„πŸ”” @simonschusteruk @themillyjohnson @agent_kremer @ed.pr #letthebellsringout #millyjohnson #newbook #snowy #christmas #bells #train #publishing #simonandschuster #newjob #lucky #commercialfiction #booksofinstagram #christmasbooks #cosyreading #smartreading
