Writer’s Thought for the Week: A study
from Britain's
National Literacy Trust says that literate people are more likely to be happy.
Random House Publishing
Group announced this week that it will "decentralize" trade paperback
publishing. Individual publishers and imprints will manage their own trade
paperbacks and publish books through their full life cycle: hardcover, eBook,
and paperback. Jane von Mehren, trade paperbacks publisher, is leaving the
company after more than eight years. She leaves behind an impressive track
record in a broad range of categories. She edited Jamie Ford's Hotel On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,
a book I highly recommend if you have not already read it.
