Publishing Trends Blog: April 2009

http://publishingtrends.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 23, 2009. Hands Across the Ocean. On Shakespeare’s birthday, it seems only fitting to talk about the London Book Fair and what it suggests re book publishing’s future. It was, as others have said a smaller fair than in recent years, and there were noticeably fewer Americans, with some publishers (viz Random, Scholastic) represented only by their sub rights people. Who controls the online marketing of a p- or ebook? What about the publisher’s niche sites, created to attract teens or ...

Coveted Books: December 2005

http://covetedbooks.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 31, 2005. Alchemist's Daughter- Katharine McMahon. It's a historical novel,. Compares it to Phillipa Gregory but I haven't read hers. The best comparison I can make is to ". Girl With a Pearl Earring. I thought the author both did her research into the time period and came up with a plausible idea why the main character would have a more "modern" outlook on the world. I think to an extent I just don't get historical fiction though, maybe because of it's lack of humor? Links to this post.
