One of the ways that writers can give back and promote their own works is through book recommendation sites. One such site is Shepherd. It is there that John Biscello recently made his pick for 5 recent reads that wowed him.
Now the interesting thing is, this is a book sold in the Amazon marketplace, a place where anyone can really sell anything, almost like an eBay store. There are no checks and no safeguards. In the United States that may be fine with an item like this as hate literature is not only legal to publish but also sell. In Canada it is not.
Lost Telegram Press is now being advertised across the CBC Network. This includes CBC Gem (its streaming news site), as well as CBC Listen and the CBC home site. This decision to advertise with the CBC is an exciting step but came with some interesting roadblocks, not with the CBC, but with the changing world of advertising in general.
As soon as the call for submissions opened, we got quite a number of projects which we were happy to look at and consider. It is difficult because, really all submissions have merit and qualities but what it comes down to is, the ones that don’t get selected are judged mostly because of technical, legal or copyright issues. But anyway, I thought these pie charts would be interesting to those in the industry. They are to us anyway…
