In this episode we speak with Thinking Like Your Editor author and agent, Susan Rabiner about how academics can best present their book project to an agent or editor. We talk about what a strong book proposal, cover letter, and sample chapters need to do. We also talk about what it means to write your academic book with strong narrative; the significance of the table of contents; why academic writers cannot rely on facts alone to make a point; the importance of figuring out your “core audience”; understanding your book's central questions; what to expect (and not expect) from a literary agent and from a trade press; why an academic press might be a better fit for your book; and why it's okay not to earn out your advance.

Book publishing has changed a lot since I published my first book in 2004. Tom Dean, who has worked with some of the biggest publishers in the world and helped many New York Times Bestselling Authors and I talk about some of those changes, including the ebook craze, the audiobook phenomenon and the drastic shift in the retail landscape. Rather than book retail being predominantly bricks and mortar bookstores, it's now dominated by Amazon - the 24/7 bookstore. So how should an author adapt to these changes to get the most impact for their book? Join us as we talk about Kindle Unlimisted, KDP Select, setting your price points and more.

Welcome to episode #21 of the Make Books Travel podcast. Today's guest is Daniel Bunyard, Publishing Director and Head of Non-Fiction Publishing at Penguin Michael Joseph in the UK. Dan has been looking in detail at historical sales of books, in an effort to better understand what people's book buying motivations and patterns are. Why did certain books sell well at a given moment in time, and why did others hardly sell any copies during that same period? And what book buying patterns are we seeing in times of Corona? These are fascinating and important questions to ask for us publishing folks. So let's listen to my conversation with Daniel Bunyard! Show Notes About Daniel: Daniel Bunyard is a Publishing Director and Head of Non-fiction publishing at Penguin Michael Joseph, a division of Penguin Random House. After starting his career in academic publishing, working on history and philosophy titles at Palgrave Macmillan, he worked successively for John Blake, Orion and HarperCollins before moving to Penguin as a commissioning editor for commercial non-fiction. About his research: Daniel's paper on how publishing trends are influenced by historical context has not yet been published. I will update this information with the references once it's available. In the meantime you can watch his interview about this topic with Angus Phillips, who runs the journal that is publishing his article. End of season 1 On a side note, after today's episode I'm putting my recordings on hold for a short while. Even though I won't be traveling, things will get a little crazy and intense in the weeks leading up to and during the virtual Frankfurt Book Fair mid-October, with plenty of video meetings and such. Over the next couple of weeks, I will gradually move to European time, so I can make the most of this important book fair season. I'm in the Pacific time zone, which means there's a 9-hour time difference to overcome. It will be a first to be working on night shifts, and I'm curious to see how it will play out… In any case the podcast will return after the Frankfurt Book Fair with a second season!

“Gen Z get their news from Instagram, they get their beauty hacks from TikTok. They’re not buying newspapers, they’re not even going online as much as Millennials – it really is [mainly] social media. We posted a beauty review on TikTok and it got 300,000 views in 24 hours. That kind of reach doesn’t happen with print. Digital is instant and it's global.”For this week's episode, Rohma Theunissen caught up with Milli Midwood, Cosmopolitan Middle East’s youngest-ever Editor in Chief, to talk about the shifts and challenges faced by the Middle Eastern publishing industry, the evolution of print and digital magazines, and strategies for catering to the region’s Gen Z reader. Hosted by: Rohma Theunissen About Milli MidwoodHaving lived and grown-up in Dubai for the past 27 years, Milli has seen first-hand how the fashion, beauty and lifestyle industries have evolved - and continue to grow - across the UAE. Milli has worked at a number of regional titles, including OK! Middle East and Grazia Middle East before joining Harper's BAZAAR Arabia, where she headed up the digital team for three years. Now, as Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan Middle East, Milli is spearheading the largest young women’s media brand in the world in a new, inclusive and exciting direction.

Growing up, she was heavily influenced by the Sholom Aleichem stories as well as Fiddler on the Roof. Her novels PLEASE SAY KADDISH FOR ME and FROM SILT AND ASHES, represented by Loiacono Literary Agency and published by W& B Puglishers, were born of her desire to share the darker side of these beloved tales--the history that can be difficult to view, much less embrace." published by W& B Puglishers, needs to be W & B Publishers. Before becoming an author, Rochelle attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where she studied painting and lithography. She and her husband, Jan, have raised three sons in the Kansas City metro area and now live in Belton, Missouri. When she takes a break from writing and illustrating, Rochelle enjoys swimming, dancing and maintaining her blog, ADDICTED TO PURPLE Book Review Twitter in 30 mins by Ian Lamont http://writeonpurpose.com/7681/reviews/book-reviews-reviews/book-review-twitter-30-minutes-ian-lamont Tweet #BookReview Twitter in 30 Minutes by @ILamont http://writeonpurpose.com/7681/reviews/book-reviews-reviews/book-review-twitter-30-minutes-ian-lamont Happiness is a hot cup of coffee http://writeonpurpose.com/7675/blissful-life/happiness-hot-cup-coffee Tweet How to make a #writer happy?
