An exciting new “un-event” in the publishing world is BookCamp-Toronto (a publishing UnConference). You can read more about it here. It’s happening this weekend and we hope to be there.
With that said, we loved this quote from the National Post story:
“I really think I’m going to get in trouble for saying this, but book publishing needs to stop being so insular. We need to stop just looking at our own industry for inspiration,” says Deanna McFadden, marketing manager, online content and strategy for HarperCollins. “The people who are doing BookCamp in Toronto are all smart people who understand where the industry is and where we need to go, and are really looking at innovative ways for us to keep book publishing alive and healthy.”
Couldn’t agree more, Deanna. Cheers! (hopefully, we’ll see you in Toronto)
