Download or read book Publishing Lives written by Jerome Gold and published by Black Heron Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Publishing Lives, publishers from 31 independent presses talk about how they came to publishing and why they stayed ( or didn't), the mistakes they made, their relationships with authors, the problems of growth, definitions of success, why they do or do not seek grants, their relationships with distributors, bookstores, New York and Toronto, and each other. More than just a directory, Publishing Lives presents these publishers as the spiritual heirs of the nineteenth-century founders of the great New York houses.
