Searching for an experienced book cover artist who specializes in science fiction cyberpunk illustrations for a commission. Need to find an illustrator who can deliver art by mid-October!

A repost from @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com (Hi Neil 😁) prompts responses primarily from readers who find this nonsensical - and every author I know is a reader too. Add booksellers and publishers who agree, and it's clear whoever's peddling this knows nothing about *any* aspect of the book business!
Apparently elsewhere on social media, writers are supposed to consider other authors are their competition. No, that's really not the way things work. We encourage and support each other in this challenging business and recommend each others' books because a rising tide lifts all the boats.

Marketing your book is like fishing. If you don't have a good line or a hook, you won't garner any attention at all.
Marketing your book is like fishing. It's a lot easier if you have the money to pay someone else to do it for you.
Marketing your book is like fishing. You have to go out there and put the pole in the water even when most of the time you won't get a nibble.

As great as it was to finally have Captain Rex appear in live action on this week's episode of Ahsoka, the absolute best part was having my youngest turn and look at me as we both silently acknowledged how freaking cool that moment really was.

Bill Willingham's decision to release Fables into the public domain is badassery of the highest degree, saying DC Comics is "a revolving door of strangers of no measurable integrity who... interpret... our contract in ways that only benefit DC Comics and its owner companies." Not a good look, DC.

Dubious about KKR's ability to turbo charge book publisher Simon & Schuster enough to flip its private equity deal to the benefit of both companies. First that's a lot of debt to be saddled with and second KKR's track record isn't the prettiest. But hey at least the Big 5 is still the Big 5 right?

Coke's latest mystery flavor is here. It's created by AI | CNN Business
For about a year and a half, Coca-Cola has experimented with limited-edition beverages that have mystery tastes — most of them with vague, futuristic concepts and undisclosed flavors.

Influencer Book Publishing is gaming the system. Bindery and ByteDance both seek to leverage the power of social media influencers (mostly from TikTok) who will curate (and in some cases write), publish, and promote books. Vertical marketing at its finest. Will be interesting to see if it succeeds!

'A Plague on the Industry': Book Publishing's Broken Blurb System
Do authors actually like the books they endorse—or even read them? Writers, literary agents, and publishing workers take Esquire inside the story of a problematic "favor economy."
