Publishing House Quotes

If you look at the publishers I’ve worked with, generally, they’re a great bunch. Creation is unlike any other publishing house you can think of. The people I’ve worked with have integrity and intelligence and, almost always, less money than ideas Picture Quote #1

For me, titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don’t pop out perfect on the first try, they can be really hard to repair. Or, worse, if the author thinks they pop out perfect, but the publishing house does not agree, it’s difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane Picture Quote #1

My first job out of college was as an editorial assistant in a New York publishing house. Being an editorial assistant is the purgatory would-be editors must endure before they can ascend the ladder and begin acquiring books on their own. I spent a year filing paperwork, writing copy, and typing rejection letters Picture Quote #1

Say you’re an American novelist, published by the largest publishing house in the world. Their goal is to make as much money from you as possible, to have as many people read your book in as many formats as possible. How can you hope to speak intimately to the numbers of people that represent the book sales required? Picture Quote #1

Perceval Press a publishing house I founded in 2002 and it’s still going strong. Strong for us means not so many books per year, but each one we very carefully design and print Picture Quote #1

I have been blessed to have the same editor and work for a great publishing house Picture Quote #1

Publishing is a business of relationships. The relationships you make at one house can carry over to another Picture Quote #1

There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea Picture Quote #1

The successful publishing house is the one that can guess ahead, not the one that imitates the past Picture Quote #1

I publish my own books, so there isn’t a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house Picture Quote #1

I think the judging process is full of integrity, compared to some other prizes around the world. The fact that they change the panel of judges every year keeps it from becoming corrupt. I think it’s very difficult if you’ve got judges for life; obviously relationships are cultivated between judges and authors, and publishing houses Picture Quote #1

To newspapers and publishing houses I urge the use of fact over fiction, freedom of the press, and responsibility at all times Picture Quote #1
