"Publishers today still arrange to print and distribute copies, which they store in expensive warehouses around the world. They still liaise with booksellers, who most of the time (but not always) pay their invoices. They try to publicize their new releases, but more often than not the author (and their social media) is by far the best marketer of their work." #books #publishing #LiteraryAgents https://publishingperspectives.com/2026/02/richard-charkin-on-publishings-power-shift/
