I wasn’t the target audience for the #USBookShow's “Navigating Publishing Careers Today: From Entry-Level to Advancement” workshop, but I’m really glad I attended it.
In lieu of career advice for younger people, I wrote up the primary takeaways that stuck with me for older managers (like me) who should be helping make their career paths smoother.

Got to wear my "occasional journalist" hat for Publishing Perspectives this week, covering a topic that's been part of my professional identity for more than a decade now: "data-informed, never data-driven."
Data-driven vs. Data-informed: An Inflection Point for Publishers at the #USBookShow
Two days at the #USBookShow wrapped and I'm tired af!
Strong program with only one real (but predictable) dud, some of which I'll be writing up soon. Great connecting with old friends and colleagues, and met some interesting new people, too.
Am I ready for ALA next? We'll see...
Looking forward to attending the #USBookShow next week!
I'll be there both days (and nights) for a mix of programming, networking, and meetings.
If you'll be there, drop me an email and let's plan to catch up.
The headline and actual text of PW's coverage of their own US Book Show suggests they expected AI to be a big deal across the program, but it was actually kind of dud, when it came up at all. 🙃
Maybe it's time to stop trying to make Fetch happen?
From copyright and marketing to audiobooks and literary translation, the incursion of artificial intelligence was a hot topic among industry leaders at this year’s U.S. Book Show, held at the New York Academy of Medicine on June 3.
PW's "Book Banning in America" panel discussion is outlining the dystopian reality librarians are dealing with — from politically motivated book challenges to incredulous media coverage helping spread misinformation.
Speaking out invites slanderous accusations and risks losing your job, largely because an ignorant, bigoted vocal minority who hate diversity are being incited by well-funded groups that hate public education.
