Publisher Confidential is a creation by the Unshelved crew that strives to convey to publishers what libraries wish they would know. It consists of brief statements illustrated with the familiar Mallville Public Library staff. The booklet is being distributed to the BookExpo America (BEA) mailing list, so a lot of publisher’s representative will see it and hopefully take heed.
Some of the selections I especially like upon first reading:
- Start your periodical with Vol. 1, Issue 1.
- Unusual packaging creates problems.
- In the book, tell us how to pronounce the author’s name.
- Free Ebooks from the shackles of D.R.M.
- Not all fonts are created equal.
There are many more… and all are worth reading.
