Fresh [sic] from the London Book Fair 2019, where Practical Inspiration Publishing was an exhibitor, this week’s episode is a reflection on the big themes of the Fair, and the Quantum conference that preceded it (and of which I was a Chair). Listen up for the latest on:
the growth of non-fiction – why we’re all trying to make sense of a world gone mad
the audio explosion – how audio books, podcasts and voice-first discovery are shaping the new publishing landscape
independent publishers – why they’re increasingly shaping the agenda
bookshops – how they defied expectations to remain relevant in the age of Amazon, and how they’re working with publishers like us to bring readers and authors together
discoverability – what it is, why it matters, and some great new tools to help books get found
And very, very, VERY little on Brexit. Promise.
