In keeping with the times, we have reformatted the field for a Twitter handle on our PM Member Profiles to accommodate a full range of social media monikers. Using the tools on the Your Account page to edit your profile, in the Contact information section, look for the renamed Social URL field to update your information. You will need to enter the full URL, but you can link to Bluesky, Instagram, etc. as you wish. (We are happily posting publishing news again on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/publisherslunch.bsky.social.)
Publishers Marketplace Tips
Presenting Searchable Salary Transparency
We have launched the first of our new tools for the year at Publishers Marketplace. Salary Search lets you check posted salary information over time for any job position by searching through many thousands of listings from Publishers Lunch Job Board archive. Since salary transparency laws in major states were implemented over the past couple of years, the richest data is also the most recent data, though the feature will match historical listings for whenever a salary was posted in a PL job listing. Every column is sortable, so you can easily sort by job posting date, salary level, title, […]
PM Gifts
For any last-minute needs on your list, our recently-launched Publishers Marketplace gift memberships have been popular. You can select a gift of anywhere from one to twelve months of membership at our site. For a treat of shorter duration, we have started one of our rare free holiday trial periods: From today through December 26, your friends and colleagues can check out our resources and get started on research for the new year at no cost. Please observe all of the posted conditions.
Oops
On Friday we forgot to include the link for the Atlantic’s article, “The Most Coveted Screenshot In the World,” in case you did not find it on your own.
Atlantic Official
Jordan Michelman writes in the Atlantic about “the most coveted screenshot in the literary world,” honoring writers’ joy in sharing their “Publishers Marketplace Official” book deal screenshots. “It’s become one of the most important rites of passage in the book-publication process—more meaningful to some writers than a book party or book-cover reveal. For many authors, in fact, no book deal is complete until they’ve posted it. It is the Publishers Marketplace book-deal social-media post.” Lately, we have been admiring all the authors moving to BlueSky and populating it anew with their deals. Creators continue to impress us with their innovative […]
Giving Thanks and Moving Ahead
It’s been a topsy turvy time recently for all kinds of reasons, which has delayed our annual marking of the occasion. But even in difficult times it’s important to make room for gratitude and appreciation of anything good. So with a mix of humility and irrepressible hope for the future, we admit to our aging: Publishers Marketplace is now a mature-sounding 23 years old — launched at another time of significant uncertainty, months after the first dot-com bubble burst and just weeks after 9/11 (and that means Publishers Lunch will turn 25 next spring). As I express regularly, we’re here […]
