Publishers Marketplace Tips
PM For the Holidays
If you are looking for a delightful digital stocking stuffer, we have just added a fun new option at Publishers Marketplace: Now it’s easy to give a PM Quick Pass as a gift. You can buy a Quick Pass Gift Certificate, and you’ll get an emailable gift receipt with redeemable code. Or for something weightier — a good 6.7 pounds worth — our definitive book on THE TRIAL: The DOJ’s Suit to Block Penguin Random House’s Acquisition of Simon & Schuster remains an amazing document for any publishing library. As NY Magazine noted, “It’s like the Mueller report for publishing […]
Marking the Days
Whether you see it as a time of harvest and winding down for hibernation or a period of declining light, temperature and life force, fall is a sentimental season. Our usual antidote is to focus on commemoration, and looking forward to renewal on the horizon, even when events in the world or one’s own life makes it difficult (which is too often the case).

Refreshing
We have been working away on the big PublishersMarketplace.com redesign since June and over the weekend we went live with some of the biggest and best improvements yet. Everything Dealmakers, from individual pages to the hundreds of customizable lists, now has a new look.

That “info box” will now show a picture or logo when available, along with a brief bio. For people who have a posted […]
Call for Spring/Summer Season Preview Listings
Our forthcoming Buzz Books 2024: Spring/Summer samplers will include, as usual, extensive seasonal preview/overview listings of notable titles on the way. We compile these big roundups by looking at publisher catalogs; our own comprehensive monthly lists of significant forthcoming books; hints from our substantial flow of deal reports; aggregation of “anticipated books” lists from other publications; word-of-mouth within the industry; and more. If you have notable spring/summer titles you would like to have considered for the preview list — particularly ones you are concerned we might have missed from the regular signals, along with drop-ins and rescheduled releases — now […]
The Classics
As you adjust to our new look at Pubishers Marketplace, it’s worth underscoring that the revised “screenshot view” preserves and refreshes our classic look for those who like things old school. When you bring up screenshot view, where you see “Version:“, just click down on the menu to get the classic image: Also, for those of you who like the “New for you” counters that show the number of recently posted deals (and other updates) since your last visit to the site, that feature has been relocated to the top of the Your Account page.
