New Imprints Signal Publishing Not Dead

摘要

For an industry pronounced dead repeatedly for at least a decade or more, traditional publishing-and its digital-first counterparts, which might not be so different after all-belied the grim reapers, with innumerable launches and new models that indicated it was alive and well in 2013. Since its inception in July, this column chronicled some of that growth (e.g., "Kensington at 40: On Launch Pad," "HarperCollins Expands Digital Firsts"). October and November brought a handful of announcements, including one aimed squarely at public libraries: Skyhorse Publishing's Carrel Books, set to release its initial list of 20 to 30 titles in both print and ebook in fall 2014.
