Hi Everyone,
Among items of particular interest this week for our writers are the expansions of two small presses. Fulcrum Publishing has acquired Speck Press, expanding its line, and Pegasus Books, a well respected New York-based small publisher is now churning out 40 books a year.
In the UK, publisher Little Brown has acquired Piatkus, so it will be interesting to see what grows from that merger.
Another new and potential market is bookseller Borders Group, Inc., which has now put itself in the publishing business, with Nick Santora's debut novel SLIP & FALL. We'll have an audio interview later this month with Nick, who has also written for the television shows Prison Break, The Sopranos and Law & Order and The Guardian, as well as multiple feature films. You'll want to see what he has to say in August about his writing journey. Stay tuned.
