As longtime members know, we’re always working on site refinements. We wanted to update you on a few things that we have rolled in over recent weeks: – By request, the children’s deal categories have been expanded, so our young adult and middle grade sections now both all you to distinguish between works of fiction and nonfiction. – Also in Dealmakers, all of the “categories” counts are now live hyperlinks instead of static listings. Just click to see a presentation of all the dealmaker’s transaction in any particular category. – Finally, in site administration matters, we are revamping our password […]

Marking the Day
With celebration in the air ahead of tonight’s National Book Awards ceremony and the first quiet[er] news day in a while, we’re able to take a beat and mark the occasion: This month is the 16th anniversary of PublishersMarketplace.com. (As usual, that means Publishers Lunch on its own is close to 18 years old, though we didn’t know we were “starting something” when it began, so there’s no official birthdate.) We were amused by a recent WSJ article on the hot trend in which “Niche Online Publishers Bank on Subscriptions Over Advertising.” Their contention is that selling subscriptions and memberships […]
Make Your Own News
Today we introduce a new feature that people have been requesting for a long time: A community bulletin board/classified ad section for sharing news, offers and opportunities that don’t fit in the day-to-day editorial coverage in Publishers Lunch. Our new Classifieds work just like our very effective, industry-leading Publishers Lunch Job Board. Your posts run for seven days on a dedicated page at PublishersMarketplace.com, and every Friday we’ll collect the week’s listings in a special section of Publishers Lunch, which you can see below today. Use PL classifieds to offer galleys or office space; announce awards, new clients, press releases, […]

A web search for “add icon to home screen” and your browser should give you the answer you need, though most commonly, in Safari just click the icon at the bottom of the browser window that looks like a rectangle with an arrow as its head, and […]
