Good Sources of Publishing Industry News

Publisher downsizing…acquistion freezes…layoffs…new technology…bestseller lists…with all of the crazy things going on in the publishing industry these days, it’s important for authors to stay in touch with the latest industry news.

Here’s a list of blogs and newsletters that I recommend:

Publisher’s Weekly – Daily Enewsletter

Christian Retailing E-News

Chip MacGregor – Literary Agent Blog

Alan Rinzler – Consultant Editor Blog

Michael Hyatt – President of Thomas Nelson Blog

Joe Wikert – Publishing 20/20 Blog

These are just a few of the great sources of information that give authors insight into the publishing world. Do you have a great source of publishing info? Leave a comment with your suggestions.

In reality, sustained backlist performance is almost always the result of intentional strategy, not timing or luck. I’ve seen this repeatedly while coaching more than 1,000 authors, working with New York Times, Wall Street

Discover why backlist books stall—and how strategic authors revive old titles into long-term revenue engines.
