They tell us that human happiness lies only in the future. But what if it really lies in the past? Hobart, 2022: a city with declining population, in the grip of a dark recession. A rusty ship sails into the harbour and begins to unload its cargo on the site of the once famous but now abandoned Gallery of Future Art, known to the world as GoFA.

Unimaginably rich.” Blanche de Rigny has always considered herself the black sheep of the family. And a black sheep on crutches at that. But it turns out her family tree has branches she didn’t even know existed. And many of them are rotten to the core. As Blanche becomes aware of the legacy left by her wealthy Parisian ancestors, she wonders about engaging in a little family tree pruning of her own.

  • The Coalition's Plan for Fast Broadband and An
    THE COALITION’S PLAN FOR FAST BROADBAND AND AN AFFORDABLE NBN APRIL 2013 The Coalition will deliver fast, affordable and reliable broadband to all Australians. We will complete the National Broadband Network as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, using a mix of technologies that will provide high speeds at a reasonable cost. Our goal is for every household and business to have access to broadband with a download data rate of between 25 and 100 megabits per second by late 2016. Downloads average less than five megabits per second at present.1 Suburbs, regions, towns and business districts with the poorest services and greatest need for upgrades will receive first priority. Key prices for a Coalition NBN will be capped nationally, ensuring Australians in metropolitan and regional areas alike can obtain services at fair prices. By contrast, under Labor’s NBN wholesale charges per user will triple by 2021.2 To put further downward pressure on prices, the Coalition will unshackle the competitive telecom market that Labor tried to stamp out, and reduce the cost of the NBN to prudent levels. To ensure accountability we will require NBN Co (the government-controlled company building the network) to release more information more often to the taxpayers paying its bills. We will resolve the greatest failure of current broadband policies: the up to two million households and businesses across Australia that cannot get basic fixed broadband after more than five years of Labor government. Broadband infrastructure is necessary for our digital future, but on its own it is not sufficient. Businesses, governments and communities must be creative and energetic in finding areas where the NBN opens the way for new, better, less costly or more convenient services and amenities.

    6 THE PERSONALISATION OF THE CAMPAIGN Paul Strangio and James Walter This chapter considers the characteristics of the leaders of the major parties, Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten, the circumstances with which they were confronted and the way opportunities were seized or lost to confound the widespread expectations that had preceded the 2019 election campaign. The media’s inordinately ‘leader-centric’ bias in campaign reporting is long- established. Yet it might have been thought that the bitter experience of leadership turmoil in both parties of government over the previous decade would have put a brake on public expectations that the ‘right’ leader would provide the solution to present dilemmas. Indeed, some commentators remarked that ‘Australia has had enough of messianic leaders for a while’ (Hartcher 2019a). The Labor Party’s campaign—choreographed as a team effort—seemed apt if such a transition in leadership style proved better attuned to the zeitgeist. For their part, Liberal Party MPs were reportedly unhappy with the ‘presidential’ aspect of Malcolm Turnbull’s campaign at the 2016 election and reluctant to see a reversion to the leader ‘standing in’ for the party (Crowe 2019). And yet, this was precisely what defined the campaign, as Morrison, ‘the Messiah from the Shire’, contrived what had seemed an improbable victory. Leader-centrism appears once more to have been endorsed. Observers argued that Morrison had ‘to carry the operation because there’s no alternative’ (Murphy 2019b). On the other hand, it rapidly became apparent that playing the lone fighter, battling the odds against what 107 MORRISON'S MIRACLE appeared to be an ascendant Labor Party, suited Morrison’s combative temperament and played to his strong suit.

  • 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.

  • IPA World Book Fair Report 2016
    IPA World Book Fair Report 2016 24.02.2016 Joanna Bazán Babczonek, Project & Office Manager Ben Steward, Director of Communications & Freedom to Publish 1. Introduction In 2015 the IPA released a special report on the Future of Book Fairs , (http://bit.ly/1S234If ) asking if they still bring value to modern publishing. The report found that book fairs are still the engine that keeps the wheels of publishing turning. In an age of video conferencing and digital networking, book fairs are a real-life moment that brings people in publishing together. Relationships are formed, contracts signed and hands shaken. Moreover, book fairs open a window on the publishing world, capturing public interest and drawing the attention of a media more concerned with publishing’s products than its mechanics. The 2016 IPA Book Fair Report looks at some of the world’s standout fairs, and asks the people behind them how they will stay ahead of the curve. The report is designed to help publishing professionals understand the evolution of book fairs and to guide their organizers towards an ever better performance of an essential service to publishers and publishing. 2. What are book fairs? All book fairs are not the same. Some are heavily consumer slanted, others more for publishing professionals. But whatever their target audience, their common goal is to showcase authors, books and brands, and connect suppliers with buyers. For example, the Salon du Livre de Genève , one of the francophone world’s leading book fairs, is almost entirely geared towards consumers. Effectively, it is a vast two-day bookshop, with retailers and publishers selling their wares side by side.
