An interview I did with Marion Boyars publishers. I think you'll find it very interesting - she gave brilliant answers and it is a real inside view of publishers and their considerations...And it's quite entertaining too.

Bumping this up for anyone interested. Thanks for all the comments too.

It's a really fascinating interview, Snowy. The bit about how people call her list 'very literary' as if that's a term of abuse - as if looking for 'excellence and orgininality' is somehow blameworthy because it's anti-populist. Very sad.

It's funny isn't it? "Commercial" also seems to be used as a term of abuse half the time. I don't understand why in either case.

Just bumping this up for those that might have missed it over the Christmas break.

A review by one of our own of one of the Marion Boyars' titles. They are an interesting publisher and this is worth a look.
