From the time they first met as undergraduates at Columbia College
in New York City in the mid-1930s, the noted editor Robert Giroux
(1914-2008) and the Trappist monk and writer Thomas Merton
(1915-1968) became friends. The Letters of Robert Giroux and Thomas
Merton capture their personal and professional relationship,
extending from the time of the publication of Merton's 1948
best-selling spiritual autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain,
until a few months before Merton's untimely death in December 1968.
As editor-in-chief at Harcourt, Brace & Company and then at
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Giroux not only edited twenty-six of
Merton's books but served as an adviser to Merton as he dealt with
unexpected problems with his religious superiors at the Abbey of
Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky, as well as those in France and
Italy. These letters, arranged chronologically, offer invaluable
insights into the publishing process that brought some of Merton's
most important writings to his readers. Patrick Samway, S.J., had
unparalleled access not only to the materials assembled here but to
Giroux's unpublished talks about Merton, which he uses to his
advantage, especially in his beautifully crafted introduction that
interweaves the stories of both men with a chronicle of their
personal and collaborative relationship. The result is a rich and
rewarding volume, which shows how Giroux helped Merton to become
one of the greatest spiritual writers of the twentieth century.
China's Publishing Industry presents a portrait of the contemporary
Chinese publishing industry in its political and commercial
contexts, and analyses how its structures are influenced by the
state and by market forces. Starting with an overview of the
publishing business in China, this book takes a long view of the
profound changes in China's publishing industry, covering a period
from the 'socialist transformation' under Mao to the more recent
reforms, such as the conglomeration and corporatisation, of the
industry. The book investigates the impact of the changing social,
economic and ideological environment on the structure and operation
of the publishing industry, and explores how the burgeoning digital
publishing business is shaped by the broader social context. It
reveals that the process of commercialisation in China's publishing
industry has been marked by persistent tensions and contradictions,
and demonstrates, through case studies, how these tensions have
impacted everyday practices.
When the sleepy English village of Green Bottom hosts its first
literary festival, the good, the bad and the ugly of the book world
descend upon its leafy lanes. But the villagers are not prepared
for the peculiar habits, petty rivalries and unspeakable desires of
the authors. And they are certainly not equipped to deal with
Wilberforce Selfram, the ghoul-faced, ageing enfant terrible who
wreaks havoc wherever he goes. Sour Grapes is a hilarious satire on
the literary world which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors,
agents, publishers and reviewers alike.
San Quentin State Prison, California's oldest prison and the
nation's largest, is notorious for once holding America's most
dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a
beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the
San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners,
many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what
Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered
positive change in inmates' lives. Award-winning journalist William
J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo Garcia,
the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper.
Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year
shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the
small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as
advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials
cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the
stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of
prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside
penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice
networks seeking reform.
A Brilliant, Buoyant Guide to Publishing Your Book Hundreds of
thousands of books come out every year worldwide. So why not yours?
In The Book Bible, New York Times bestseller and wildly popular
Manhattan writing professor Susan Shapiro reveals the best and
fastest ways to break into a mainstream publishing house. Unlike
most writing manuals that stick to only one genre, Shapiro maps out
the rules of all the sought-after, sellable categories: novels,
memoirs, biography, how-to, essay collections, anthologies, humor,
mystery, crime, poetry, picture books, young adult and middle
grade, fiction and nonfiction. Shapiro once worried that selling 16
books in varied sub-sections made her a literary dabbler. Yet after
helping her students publish many award-winning bestsellers on all
shelves of the bookstore, she realized that her versatility had a
huge upside. She could explain, from personal experience, the
differences in making each kind of book, as well as ways to find
the right genre for every project and how to craft a winning
proposal or great cover letter to get a top agent and book editor
to say yes. This valuable guide will teach both new and experienced
scribes how to attain their dream of becoming a successful author.
The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain is an authoritative
series which surveys the history of publishing, bookselling,
authorship and reading in Britain. This seventh and final volume
surveys the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from a range of
perspectives in order to create a comprehensive guide, from growing
professionalisation at the beginning of the twentieth century, to
the impact of digital technologies at the end. Its multi-authored
focus on the material book and its manufacture broadens to a study
of the book's authorship and readership, and its production and
dissemination via publishing and bookselling. It examines in detail
key market sectors over the course of the period, and concludes
with a series of essays concentrating on aspects of book history:
the book in wartime; class, democracy and value; books and other
media; intellectual property and copyright; and imperialism and
post-imperialism.
Rose Macaulay's 1920 satire on British journalism and the newspaper
industry will be back in print in the UK for the first time in
seventy years. It will be published alongside a new collection of
her pacifist writing from 1916 to 1945, Non-Combatants and Others:
Writings Against War (ISBN 9781912766307). Potterism is about the
Potter newspaper empire, and the ways in which journalists
struggled to balance the truth and what would sell, during the
First World War and into the 1920s. When Jane and Johnny Potter are
at Oxford they learn to despise their father's popular newspapers,
though they still end up working for the family business. But Jane
is greedy, and wants more than society will let her have. Mrs
Potter is a well-known romantic novelist, whose cheap novelettes
appear in the shop-girls' magazines. She has become unable to
distinguish fact from fiction, and her success gives her an
unhealthy estimation of her own influence. When she visits a medium
to try to find the truth about the murder of her son-in-law, she
wreaks terrible damage. Arthur Gideon works for Mr Potter as an
editor. He respects his employer's honesty while he despises the
populist newspapers he has to produce. His turbulent campaigning
spirit, and his furious resistance to anti-Semitic attacks, make
him unpopular, and becomes an unwitting target of malice.
A million listeners trust NPR's Brooke Gladstone to guide them
through the complexities of the modern media. Bursting onto the
page in vivid comics by acclaimed artist Josh Neufeld, this
brilliant radio personality guides us through two millennia of
media history, debunking the notion that "The Media" is an external
force beyond our control and equipping us to be savvy consumers and
shapers of the news. An invaluable introduction to how the media
works from one of the acknowledged masters of the industry, this
tenth anniversary edition brings the story up to date, with new
illustrations and an afterword that offers a deep examination of
the rise of social media and the public's responsibility in a time
of division and disinformation.
In this major new collection, an international team of scholars
examine the relationship between the Chinese women's periodical
press and global modernity in the late nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The essays in this richly illustrated volume probe the
ramifications for women of two monumental developments in this
period: the intensification of China's encounters with foreign
powers and a media transformation comparable in its impact to the
current internet age. The book offers a distinctive methodology for
studying the periodical press, which is supported by the
development of a bilingual database of early Chinese periodicals.
Throughout the study, essays on China are punctuated by
transdisciplinary reflections from scholars working on periodicals
outside of the Chinese context, encouraging readers to rethink
common stereotypes about lived womanhood in modern China, and to
reconsider the nature of Chinese modernity in a global context.
This Pivot investigates the impact of the digital on literary
culture through the analysis of selected marketing narratives,
social media stories, and reading communities. Drawing on the work
of contemporary writers, from Bernardine Evaristo to Patricia
Lockwood, each chapter addresses a specific tension arising from
the overarching question: How has writing culture changed in this
digital age? By examining shifting modes of literary production,
this book considers how discourses of writing and publishing and
hierarchies of cultural capital circulate in a socially motivated
post-digital environment. Writing Cultures and Literary Media
combines compelling accounts of book trends, reader reception, and
interviews with writers and publishers to reveal fresh insights for
students, practitioners, and scholars of writing, publishing, and
communications.

'A moving portrait of Diwan and the Cairo that embraced it, an ode
to all the people who have kept it going' Harvard Review In 2002,
three young women with no business degrees, no formal training, and
nothing to lose founded a fiercely independent bookstore. At the
time, nothing like Diwan existed in Cairo. Culture was languishing
under government mismanagement, and books were considered a luxury,
not a necessity. Over the next decade, these three women would
contend with censors, chauvinists, critics, one another and many
people who said they would never succeed in establishing Diwan as
Cairo's leading bookstore. Frank, fresh and very funny, Chronicles
of a Cairo Bookseller is a portrait of a country hurtling toward a
revolution, a feminist rallying cry, and an unapologetic crash
course in running a business under the law of entropy. Above all,
it is a celebration of the power of words to bring us home. 'A
unique memoir about career, life, love, friendship, motherhood, and
the impossibility of succeeding at all of them at the same time . .
. fascinating. Blunt, honest, funny' Jenny Lawson, author of Broken

The finest books produced during the quarter century prior to the
outbreak of the Great War were almost invariably printed by the
private presses, but post-war, with the development of new
technology, the accolade of excellence passed into the hands of a
small number of commercial firms, with the Curwen Press very much
to the fore. Like those earlier printers, Harold Curwen was
inspired by the Morrisian ideal, but he did not adhere to the tenet
that 'hand made' was necessarily better than 'machine made', which
led him to become one of the pioneering figures in the technical
revolution that transformed the printing industry. Harold Curwen
joined the family firm in 1908 and by 1916 had instigated a general
replanning of the works and, aided by the wartime staff shortage,
felt able to push ahead with the installation of modern machinery.
He was in the forefront of the development of offset lithography,
which ensured that the Curwen Press would be in the vanguard of
fine colour printing throughout the next decade. Harold also
pioneered, as far as England was concerned, the pochoir technique
of hand-stencilling. 1922, was the beginning of the Curwen Press'
golden decade, during which it produced "The Woodcutter's Dog", the
English language edition of Julius Meier-Graefe's two volume
biography of Van Gogh for the "Medici Society", the exhibition
catalogue of books and manuscripts for "The First Edition Club",
Goldoni's "Four Comedies" and the delightful little pocket
engagement book, "The Four Seasons", illustrated by Albert
Rutherston. Rutherston was later to illustrate Thomas Hardy's
Yuletide in a "Younger World", the first of the Ariel Poems for
Faber & Gwyer which were to become a feature of the
collaboration between the two firms. In addition there was the
'Safety First' Calendar, adorned with Lovat Fraser's cautionary
illustrations. Following restructuring in 1933, the Curwen Press
had a further forty years of distinguished work ahead both in the
printing of books, particularly those illustrated by Barnett
Freedman, as well as jobbing work, including some of the finest
posters for the London Underground by Bawden, Wadsworth, John
Banting, Betty Swanwick, Barnett Freedman and others. "E. McKnight
Kauffer, Design" contains over 150 illustrations, many from
original artworks, and work not before reproduced. With
descriptions by Brian Webb and an introductory essay by Peyton
Skipwith. The "Design" series is the winner of the Brand/Series
Identity Category at the British Book Design and Production Awards
2009, judges said: 'A series of books about design, they had to be
good and these are. The branding is consistent, there is a good use
of typography and the covers are superb.'
