Nicholson, Jack’s namesake and maybe even his father, a soft little dapper Irishman in glasses. He kept neatly combed what was left of his red hair and had long ago separated from Jack’s mother, their high school romance gone the way of any available drink. They told Jack that John had once been a great ballplayer and that he decorated store windows, all five Steinbachs in Asbury Park, though the only place Jack ever saw this man was in the bar, day-drinking apricot brandy and Hennessy, shot after shot, quietly waiting for the mercy to kick in.

  • N Kaul at the LBF 09
    [email protected] AT THE LBF Approaching the London Book Fair in Earls Court some time ago, I saw an unpaid translator with a placard protesting outside a massive exhibition pavilion where tens of thousands of books were on display. The organisers of the Fair describe it as “the global marketplace for rights negotiation and the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, TV, film and digital channels”. There are demarcated special access areas where agents, media people, and publishers have their negotiations and do the deals that make the headlines in the trade periodicals. For the most part, the Fair is a labyrinthine alphabetical array of stalls that belong to publishers and other associated services (such as shipping, paper supply, design) from around the world who display their wares and spend hours hunched over tables with potential business partners matched through online appointments diary for the registrants; there are free pens, sweet baskets, big flashy logos and props (to wit, a large fake red London Bus sitting on an orange carpet). At lunchtime and close of day, a tide of suits and blackberry devices is disgorged into the tube station across the road. Of course, it is essentially a trade event where books are a mere commodity. As an author and academic, I spend most of my life pretending books are thoughts more than they are things, so what was I doing there? Well, as a first-time novelist I felt it would be a reality- check (and so it was!), as an innate voyeur trained partly in abstract economics, I thought

  • How Do I Start Planning My Book Marketing Campaign and Book Launch? | Schiel & Denver Book Publishers
    How do I start planning my book marketing campaign and book launch? | Schiel & Denver Book Publishers In reality, you should start as soon as you are able. With Schiel & Denver's bi-annual trade catalog and international marketing strategy, you will have a constant background marketing to bookstores, pre-publication, but you can assist the work of our dedicated sales reps in the following areas: Start whipping up interest in your book early by undertaking to include in your marketing plan/campaign the following tasks and services, depending on your budget: 1. Brainstorming Session The key to successful marketing is to get everyone you know involved, and pool your resources. Write down your book's major selling points, and have a backcover blurb and short synopsis, so you have information ready to talk about and send to people via email. Think about your book's likely readership, and do whatever you can to get the word out. Sometimes well-connected authors can use old contacts, even work colleagues to help promote the book at events, conferences, exhibitions, anywhere where you can get a captive audience. Understand that even at traditional publishers, it's the authors who roll up their sleeves and get stuck into promotion are the ones who achieve the bestsellers. Marketing is not a passive process and like most things in life, your success depends upon how much effort you put in. 2. Word of mouth sales and Booksigning parties Many sales can be generated from personal recommendations of reading groups, booksellers, booksigning parties, attending literary festivals - indeed anywhere you can speak positively about your book.
