Well it’s Labour Day in Canada and the U.S. but we are still working at Lost Telegram Press. The audio version of The Last Furies by John Biscello was released early yesterday, here, as well as on kobo, which also distributes all of our audio and e-books. And today we are starting production of the softcover version of John’s book.
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…
Thank you very much to everyone who voted over the last several days for a favourite cover for Taylor Thornburg’s new novel Agathe, 6:00 p.m. to 7:27. Taylor and myself are very excited to present you with the cover.
In Canada, the state of the publishing industry is always the question on the minds of those deeply involved as there tends to be an air of uncertainty, especially since the digital age has, so heavily, played a role in it. This role though, may be the one aspect that can help protect the industry and provide a healthier profit margin for publishers as well as larger royalties for authors.
