Our development team has been busy all year and as hinted earlier this summer, we are excited to announce our biggest single-week ever of new feature launches at Publishers Marketplace. First up is the biggest expansion of our signature Dealmakers ecosystem in years. On top of the existing structure and hundreds of Dealmakers lists showing active, successful and new buyers and sellers across almost 100 sub-categories, we have added another new level of discovery and targeting. Now, when you Browse Top Dealmakers, you can view results specifically by publisher size — separating out large publishers, midsize publishers, and small press, […]
Publishers Marketplace Tips
A PM Notice
Per a recent system mail to all members, we are noting here as that as of September 1, we will be changing the prices for Publishers Marketplace site memberships. (Please note that this will be our first pricing change in over 12 years.) As always we are committed to continuing to build out and improve Publishers Marketplace — and we already have three big new features and refinements ready to launch in the fall. The new monthly price will be $30. Longer-term memberships will be discounted to $325 for 12 months and $170 for 6 months. If you are currently on a monthly […]
More Availability for Digital Audio Sales Data
Earlier this year we started offering Circana Bookscan’s digital audio sales data from PubTrack Digital Audio as an upgrade to the agents, authors and other professionals who get annual data subscriptions through PM. Now we are incorporating that data when available into Dealmakers records, which show complete point-of-sales across all editions for over 80,000 titles. Plus, as of this week, those people who get our ridiculously affordable monthly Bookscan Data Package also have the option to add digital audio when available, when adding new titles to the monthly tracker. (Digital audiobook sales are available only for titles published by Hachette […]
Broader Horizons
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.)
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.
