How To Look at the Big Picture in Publishing

Following an exhausting week at my day-job, I'm starting the new week with a tired brain.

Luckily, the tireless reporters at Publishing News haven't been slacking, and they have some important insider gossip, straight from an exclusive "agents briefing" at Random House. 

While this site only skims the surface of the Big Picture in the publishing industry--we focus on the web writers and lit bloggers in the new digital wave--we still need to pay attention to these seismic shifts occurring at the highest levels of publishing.

Check it out:

"The message was clear: it's not getting any easier out there. Publishers' share of the trade is shrinking while at the same time discounts are rising. There has been conglomeration among retailers and wholesalers (EUK's takeover of Bertrams was mentioned) and the pressure on all publishers remains intense. 'They're saying something has to give,' was one assessment afterwards." 

Thanks to Ed Champion for the link.
