booth, it seemed to be
working.
Some publishers, like
Johnny Byrd of Cinco Puntos Press, were less concerned about the late start
than who will be left on
Friday afternoon. Others,
like one publisher who
asked to remain anonymous, said, [BookCon] is
the tail wagging the dog. If
I had my druthers, Id only
be here for BookCon.
Given the mixed sentiment, perhaps literary
agent Wendy Strothman of
Strothman Agency
summed up the mood of
the show best as cautiously optimistic. She
noted, No shoes have
dropped yet.

DAY
Monday ended with the annual Editors Buzz panel. Panelists included
(l.r.) Sarah Bagby, moderator and owner, Watermark Books & Cafe
in Wichita, Kans.; Anna Devries, Picador; Alison Callahan, Scout
Press; Scott Moyers, Penguin Press; Deb Futter, Grand Central; Colin
Dickerman, Flatiron Books; and Diana Miller, Knopf.
form is a new channel for publishers that pays them the same as
their other retail channels. I think
the fear is that it is too good to last
forever, he said, but everything is
too good to last forever. Ask publishers if they are being paid the
same amount from their retailers
as they were five years ago.
Weinstein stressed that Scribd
has invested in and built a new
sales channel at a time when retail
has flattened and become more
concentrated. Its about a balance
in the ecosystem, and I would argue
that the ecosystem is way out of balance right now, with a market
leaning heavily toward one retailer
with a lot of market concentration.
Weve invested heavily in becoming a player to become meaningful
to publishers for the long term.

DAY
Drawing some of the biggest names in the business and focusing on the
changing nature of the industry, the 21st annual Audio Publishers Association Conference kicked off yesterday morning.
Technology has changed our industry a lotrecording at home, more
recordings happening, business models changingso, its really all about
being prepared for what those changes mean, said APA executive director
Michele Cobb about this years programming. Were trying to give tips as
the industry changes, as technology changes, on what you can do to roll with
those changes.
A keynote address titled Nailing Loyalty in the Era of the Mobile, Social,
& ADHD Customer, from entrepreneur and marketing guru Peter Shankman, and a panel on securing coverage by building relationships with
reviewers were just the start of a packed day dedicated to all things audio.
Steve Smith, publisher at Oasis Audio, praised Shankmans keynote and
its focus on engaging with current customers and generating new clients.
It was a great motivator to start the day, Smith said. We have to focus on
what our customers want. Thats one of the things I want to learn more
about at this conference, and [Shankman] addressed that right away.
This years conference hosted panels on topics ranging from social media
and online video strategy to consumer behavior and narration best practices. Among the highlights were sessions on building and maintaining a
career in the audio industry; the habits of successful narrators; and the
importance of authors, narrators, and publishers working together to promote new releases.
According to Anthony Goff, v-p and publisher at Hachette Audio, a key
part of APAC is the networking opportunities: Its a major part for me to
come to this show and see people reconnect with people and hear some of
the latest things people are trying to do to keep the growth alive and well,
and really just celebrate audio for a couple of hours.

Bulldozers Big Day
Simon & Schuster Booth 2620
2:003:00 p.m.
Hachette Book Group and Simon & Schuster this week became the latest
Big Five publishers to offer audiobook titles to libraries via Midwest Tapes
nascent Hoopla digital platform. The Hachette and S&S deals, announced
May 26, follow Macmillans announcement earlier this month that it was
launching an audiobooks pilot with Midwest Tape, a longtime media distributor to libraries, which launched the Hoopla digital platform in 2013.
It should be a busy BEA for Midwest Tape
officialsin addition to its latest audiobook
deals with three Big Five publishers, the
company this month also launched its new
comics and e-book service on Hooplaa
transactional multiuser model that sets it
apart from the one copy/one user model
that currently dominates the library e-book
market.
Rather than libraries buying digital copies,
digital e-books are always instantly available,
24/7, with Hoopla, and every time a book is
borrowed the publisher gets paid. With a
valid library card, patrons can instantly
Jeff Jankowski
stream or download content from their local
library via Hooplas free mobile app (on either Android or iOS devices), or
on hoopladigital.com. Hoopla digital has partnerships with more than 786
public library systems across North America, and librarians have praised
Hoopla for its design and ease-of-use.
The Hoopla e-book service launched with thousands of titles from indie
publishersincluding comics. And while none of the Big Five are yet offering e-books through Hoopla, it may only be a matter of time. More and more
publishers are experimenting with new retail models to reach readers
including subscription servicesand among librarians support for multiuser library e-book access has been gaining momentum.
At a recent PW event, The Case for Libraries, New York Public Library
president Tony Marx spoke of his interest in a pay-per-lend model. Hoopla
is not the first or only player to offer a multiuser e-book lending model
(Library Ideas Freading, BiblioBoard and Total Boox, for example, all offer
various multiuse models), but its launch is timely. While librarians in the
past have questioned the budget implications of a transactional model, the
inefficiency and complexity of managing current e-book collections has
convinced many that multiuse, pay-per-lend models are worth a shot for
some collections.
Last year, at a panel at BEA, Hoopla founder Jeff Jankowski brought
librarians to a standing ovation with a spirited evaluation of the current
one-copy/one user model. Jankowski said it was imperative for libraries
and publishers not to be adversarial, but to work together to leverage technology the way technology is supposed to be leveraged, instead of putting
artificial restrictions on the e-lending process. To compete and stay relevant in a world where Amazon has already set consumer expectations high,
libraries and publishers need to offer a better experience than the current
model, he argued.

dren can search for them. In Project
Alpha, a team of four 12-year-olds
is chosen and sent into space to
retrieve the first element.
According to Carman, who is the
brains behind the series (and, incidentally, grew up watching NASA
missile launches and Star Trek),
readers will not just have the opportunity to join the Voyagers crew
online; they can oversee their own
robot commander, thus allowing
them to accompany the travelers
into space, and complete missions
and tasks in the form of games.
Carman anticipates that todays
kids will love Voyagers as much as
his generation loved Star Trek, for
several reasons. One, they wont have
to wait very long between books;
once a reader enters the Voyagers
world, theyll remain in orbit for an
entire year. In addition, Voyagers is
driven entirely by young explorers,
with no adults around.
Thats a fun place to be as a young
reader, Carman says. And there
are robots! Aliens! And whole
planets to explore. For an early
look at the Voyagers adventures,
booksellers can pick up ARCs of
Project Alpha at Table 1 in the

Stage Laughter
The decibel level on both the performance platform and audience floor is
apt to be stratosphere-high this afternoon, 2:303 p.m., when three authors
known for their prowess for parody take to the Uptown Stage to sparer,
talkabout books.
Participating in the Talking About Books panel
are Dave Barry, Pulitzer Prizewinning humorist,
whose latest book for children, The Worst Class Trip
Ever (Disney-Hyperion, May); Adam Mansbach, of
Go the F**k to Sleep fame, whose October picture
book from Akashic Books is Seriously, You Have to
Eat (a G-rated version of his second not-for-primetime bedtime book, You Have to F*****g Eat); and
Alan Zweibel, comedy writer and producer, who collaborated with Mansbach on Dear Benjamin
Franklin: Huge Pain in My !, a middle-grade novel
(Disney-Hyperion, Sept.).
Before raising the curtain on the panel , heres a
glance at the authors new works. Barrys inspiration for the calamity-riddled The Worst Class Trip
Ever was his own daughters school trip to Spain,
which he and his wife chaperoned. The thought
that I was one of the so-called responsible adult
chaperones, and that any institution would let that
happen, is still terrifying to me, he says. But many
things on the trip ended up in the novelfart and
butt jokes are among the key literary elements. God
knows how we returned home with all the kids,
though one boy, who started the trip
with a broken arm, did break a leg. And
his dad was a chaperone, toogood job,
dad!
Mansbach and Zweibel decided to
collaborate on a childrens book after
meeting several years ago at the Tucson
Book Festival, where Zweibel was the
keynote speaker at the opening dinner.
Coincidentally, one of my children had
sent me the audio version of Go the F**k to Sleep not long before, and it
made me laugh my ass off! recalls Zweibel. I heard he was at the book
festival, I sought him out, and we spent a little time together. Mansbach
remembers having dinner with Zweibel and by the end of the meal we were

Santa Claus, Ind., population 2,500, was founded in 1856 and eventually
came to boast the only Santa Claus post office in the U.S., where thousands
of letters from children and parents pour in every year. This December,
Indiana University Press will publish Letters to Santa Claus, a collection of
250 letters to Santa that span more than eight decades and were lovingly
handpicked by Pat Koch and
Emily Weisner Thompson.
Thompson is the
director of the Santa Claus
Museum & Village, which
Koch, whose husband owned
the property, opened in 2006.
The site is open seasonally,
from May to December,
Thompson says. It includes
the museum, the historic
Santa Claus statue, the original Santa Claus post office, and the 1880 Santa Claus church. It also has an
archive of about 2,000 letters, so Thompson had quite a job when she began
selecting the ones to include in Letters to Santa Claus. She had been thinking about a book for some time, but had no idea how to begin such a project.
In a serendipitous bit of timing, IUP contacted her last year about a publishing arrangement. The state will celebrate its bicentennial in 2016, and as
one way to commemorate that, the press decided to recognize the museum
as the areas most famous landmark.
Because of the busy Christmas selling season, Thompson wasnt
able to start work on Letters to Santa Claus until this January. I had to wrap
it up by the end of February, says Thompson, so I worked a lot of long days
and weekends. But this project was so important that it was absolutely
worth it. Volunteers at the museum are called Elves, and over the years
theyve saved their favorite letters, which are then designated for the
archives. Thompson went through the letters chronologically when she sat
down to pull the selection for the book; they are organized by decade and
category, for example, funny, sad, or poignant. As for getting permission to
use the letters in the book, all identifying personal information was
removed so that IUP could publish them freely.
All the letters received at the Santa Claus post office are answered
by one of the Elves each December. The Elves send best wishes and words of
encouragement to the young letter writers. What I love about the letters is
that they are a window into the past, Thompson says. The hopes and
dreams of generations are captured, and they also offer a glimpse into what
is going on in our society today. Some children ask for dolls or game systems,
but others mention gifts for victims of hurricanes or tornadoes. It really was
difficult to pick the best of the best, but it was a great problem to have.
Thompson is signing Letters to Santa Claus today in the English

Tom Doherty, president and publisher of Tor Books, worked his way up
through the sales force ranks at Simon & Schuster and was mentored by
Betty and Ian Ballantine when they launched the first science fiction and
fantasy line in the country. Still, in 1985, he dreamed of a better way to publish science fiction. I thought it would be unique to do something which
took a very broad view of science fiction and fantasy, and by a broad view I
mean from the prehistoric past to the far future.
What separates his company from the pack is Tors willingness to accommodate staff. I thought by structuring the jobs more openly, Doherty says,
I could attract the right people and do something that was really fine,
because creativity is what counted.

provide college women with resources
to help them navigate their college
years. Now, hercampus.com has six
million monthly users, chapters at
more than 250 colleges nationwide
and in seven countries, and has
been widely praised in the media.
Right now, the three are not only

Reacher into a James Bond kind of roleprivate jets, Paris, London. This book
is set in the middle of a million miles of wheat. I had a lot of fun writing it, as
Reachers happy in this book, and I always enjoy that because people think
his character isnt full of humor. Its also very romantic, which is unusual for
Reacher as hes usually a love em and leave em man. Theres actually more
romance than humor in Make Me even though its a hardcore Reacher book.
Reacher fans will be relieved to know that once again, hes going low tech
and will not be carrying a cellphone or tablet. Hes very annoyed that he
even has to carry ID and an ATM cardhis main possession is his folding
toothbrush. Child readily admits that when it comes to technology, hes a
bit like Reacher. Im the last but one adopter. I didnt have a cellphone
until well into the 21st century and dont own an iPad.
Child, who lives in New York City, will have a quick commute to the Javits
Center for his BEA appearances. I go everywhere on the subway, thats how
you take the temperature of whats going on. I dont generally speak to people.
I like to observeI love those little fragments of conversation you overhear.
Once he arrives, Child will be a featured speaker at todays Adult Book &

A Story of Having It All
beowulf sheehan
We offer 4 concentrations:
Second novels are known to be tough, something Vanessa Diffenbaugh can vouch for.
It was definitely a struggle to write this
one, Diffenbaugh says about We Never Asked
for Wings (Ballantine Books, Aug.), the follow-up
to her smash debut, The Language of Flowers.
The hardest part was that I listened too much
to my critics and wanted to fix things that
werent right. I wasted a lot of time until I
remembered what I was good at. Once I stopped
trying to write something better or different
than my first book, it was a lot easier.
We Never Asked for Wings might have been
written sooner, but Diffenbaugh spent almost
two years of travel around the world promoting The Language of Flowers. That novel spent
69 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was translated into a 43
languages.
We Never Asked for Wings, like Language, is a family love story. It centers
on a Mexican-American family headed by Letty, a mother struggling to
make ends meet for her two children in a crumbling housing development
outside of San Francisco. Diffenbaugh, through the work of her husband,
superintendent of schools in Monterey, Calif., hosts programs that helps
teens write college essays. One of the children she helped was the inspiration for the story.
Im very interested in getting inside the heads of people society discards, people on the fringe, especially immigrant kids. We dismiss them
without getting into details of who they are. I love getting into the details
with fiction, Diffenbaugh says. She would like her readers to get into the
heads of these people, too, from a heart perspective, not from a policy or
politics experience.
Does she have any favorite characters in the book? I have so many,
which is funny, because there were so many days when I hated all of them.
The mother, the boyone of my very favorite is the boys friend, Yesenia,
who has physical problems, one leg is shorter than the other. I met someone
just like that, in San Luis Obispo. And I thought, this story needs to be told.
Diffenbaugh signs galleys today at 11 a.m. at Table 3 in the autographing
area. She will join Annie Barrows and Paula McLain on the panel The Book
Club Insider: Three Bestselling Authors on the Power of Reading Together
at BookCon on Saturday, 11 a.m.noon, at the Penguin Random House

Significant Moments
Life is a series of moments. And
some of the most memorable
onesgood or badcome during
high school. In her new YA novel,
Infinite in Between (HarperTeen,
Sept.), Printz Honor author Carolyn
Mackler captures the high school
moments of five teenagers who
first meet when they are randomly
assigned to the same freshman orientation group. The crew (two boys,
three girls) write letters to their
future selves and then agree to
hide the notes in the school and to
meet again at graduation to read
them. Each chapter chronicles the
small moments, the ups and downs
of a single month during those four
years, explains the author.

I love stories that span periods of time, says Mackler. You see how
the characters evolve. They get a happily-ever-after moment, and then you
turn the page and something terrible happens. High school is the perfect
framework for a teen saga novel. Its perfect, she notes, because that adolescent span is particularly formative: From the moment you start freshman year to the moment you end senior year, there are so many moments
that happen that define who you are. You start as a kid and end up almost
an adult.
And like most of us, Mackler has some kicker high school moments that
are seared into her memory. I was trying out for the school play and I still
remember the sting of humiliation when my voice cracked and the cute
boy I had a crush on, sitting in the front row, laughed, she recalls.
Mackler first appeared at BEA in 2001, so she knows the show well. It
isnt a long trek to Javits from her Manhattan apartment, and she is
pleased to be here. Its the book, she says. Im so excited about it. Ive
been working on it for such a long timethree years. I kept coming back
to it, to get it just right, and now Im ready to share it with the world.
Theres another reason Mackler is happy to hit the convention aisles
this year: I have a 10-and-a-half-year-old son who is an ber reader, she
says. If I can score some hot galleys for him, I will win the mom-of-thespring award!
Next on her plate is a middle-grade novel for Scholastic. I hope to have
a first draft done by summer, she says. Her first foray into middle-grade
fiction, Best Friend Next Door (Scholastic), hits shelves May 29. I wanted to
try something different and fresh, notes Mackler. I wrote the novel I wish
I had had in fifth gradethat was a difficult time for me.

Barry Lyga
MergingThree Creative
Minds
An actor, a Hollywood producer, and a bestselling author have pooled their talents to
create a YA novel set on a future Earth
plagued by environmental collapse and mass
poverty. A beleaguered girl befriends a beautiful boy with a secretive past and unusual abilitiesand the name of Rose. The novel, After
the Red Rain (Little, Brown Books for Young
Readers, Aug.), came about sort of by accident, says Barry Lyga, whose earlier books
for teens include The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl and
the I Hunt Killers series.
The author was surreptitiously contacted by Rob DeFranco, producer of
the film Loosies and the series Pacific Blue, who with actor Peter Facinelli
(the Twilight movies) founded A7SLE Films. Rob said that he and Peter were
interested in optioning the I Hunt Killers series for their production company,
Lyga recalls. When I told him that the series had already been optioned,
Rob said, OKwell weve got another project to talk with you about.
After hearing the premise, Lyga was happy to sign on to help shape the
story that would become After the Red Rain into a novel. I was intrigued,
because I wouldnt come up with this sort of postapocalyptic story on my
own, but I could see myself coming up with the details, he says.
Given geographic logistics (Lyga lives in Brooklyn and DeFranco and
Facinelli in L.A.) and the trios busy schedules, theirs was largely a long-distance collaboration. We met a couple of times in person, but there were
lots of conference calls where the three of us would have the same pages
in front of us, says Lyga. Its difficult at this point to tell who brought what
to the table, but we all contributed ideas. What most interested me was not
the story of half-human/half-plant Rose, but the story of this girl trying to

find her place in what is a kind of future medieval world, where so much
bad has happened that no one knows whats good any more.

Stephanie Clifford
The High Life
Having grown up in Seattle, it was a bit of a culture shock when Stephanie
Clifford, now a New York Times reporter, went to school on the East Coast
in the 1990s. In Seattle theres no old money, really, but when I went to
boarding school I was kind of fascinated to find out that it existed and was
still relevant. That idea combined with the
economic boom in 2005 and 2006, replete with
debutante balls and an environment where
recent college graduates working on Wall Street
were buying Adirondack homes, inspired her
to write Everybody Rise (St. Martins Press,
Aug.), about one Evelyn Beegan, who strives to
become part of Manhattans rarefied, upper-class
world. Clifford says, I was interested in getting inside of the head of somebody who falls
in love with this way of life and why its so
important to her to fit in.
She started writing the book about 10 years
ago, but once shed been working at the New
York Times for a couple of yearsshe was hired
there in 2008her schedule, no surprise,

Alex Palmer
Uncovering a Ghost of
Christmas Past
50
Before he wrote The Santa Claus Man (Rowman & Littlefield, Oct.), Alex Palmer usually
found his material in very odd corners. His two
most recent books, Weird-O-Pedia (Skyhorse,
2012) and Literary Miscellany (Skyhorse, 2010),
were collections of strange trivia, touching on
such disparate topics as the psychology of dipping fries in ketchup and the literary connection between Homer and Jay-Z. So, when the
idea for his next book came from closer to
homefrom an uncle, on Christmas Eve, to be
exacthe was surprised. Learning the backstory of my own history was
sort of the ultimate investigation, he says.
That was the day Palmer first learned about John Duval Gluck Jr., a greatgreat-uncle who, in the early 20th century, ran the Santa Claus Association,
a charity organization that had sole authority to answer all letters sent to
Santa Claus in New York City. Heartwarming stuff, right? Palmer thought
so, too. But as he dug further, he discovered that what seemed like a great
story about a family member was more complicated.
Gluck, an ace storyteller with a flair for the dramatic, turned out to be

Her critically acclaimed play, Father Comes Home from the Wars, Parts
1, 2 & 3 (Theater Communications Group, June) is about a slave offered
freedom if he follows his master to fight for the Confederacy. It touches on
some major themes. Its a beautiful story about some people who were in
difficult timesvery different from our own, but somehow strangely there
are a lot of similarities to the time in which we are living right now. They
have to make big decisions about who they will follow. Where is freedom
thats a big question. What do you believe in, and the difference between
being honest and true, and being faithful is another thing that keeps coming up in the play.

She originally envisioned Father Comes Home from the Wars as a collection of nine plays. Some of my friends said, Oh no, its the road to madness.
Eugene ONeil tried to write a nine-part thing and he went crazy! People
were telling me these stories, and I said, Let me see what happens, so well
see what happens. She laughs and adds, It might be 12 parts, or 96!
Parks has a long relationship with Theater Communications Group. This
is her sixth play published by them. She notes, They do such beautiful
books. I enjoy when my plays are performed and when my plays are read.
There are a lot of communities, including wonderful academic communities at prestigious colleges, who do not have the funds to put on a Suzan-Lori
Parks play, but because of TCGs brilliance, they can take the play into their
classroom and read it aloud.
The writer has been at BEA before and enjoys seeing all the different
books out there. Its very exciting, because these days people are trying to
convince everybody to read everything on their phone, and I read a lot on
my phone, but were still human beings, and the tactilethe sense of

the lessons he learned from his earlier book projects. Hugo came out of
novels and picture books Id done up to that point, and for Wonderstruck I
used what Id learned from Hugo, he explains. The challenge with The
Marvels was to take it one step further and figure out what new way the
pictures could be used and could meanand to come up with a whole new
structure.
And how do The Marvels dual stories connect? Selznicks not telling.
One of the things I enjoy when creating a story is the space thats left in
the narrative for the reader to piece together, he says. For me, thats
excitingand I think it makes the story feel like its yours when youre
asked to do some work. As readers, we dont know how the boy in the
prose part fits into the whole story, but we do know a bit more than he
does. Hopefully, readers will recognize in the prose story things theyve
seen in the pictures hundreds of pages earlier.
A onetime Manhattan bookseller, Selznick has a particular fondness for
BEAand the bookselling business. I worked at Eeyores Books for
Children on the Upper West Side for a few years after school, and I feel as
though I learned everything I know about childrens books there, he says.
In fact, my first book, The Houdini Box, was published when I was still
working at the store.
The author looks forward to giving booksellers an early peek at his latest novel this afternoon, 1:302:30 p.m., when he autographs ARCs of The

ways she had not imagined. Having a child turned out to be her personal
life lesson: Snooki became Nicole. My parents told me that they knew I
was this person all along, she says.
Nicole had always envisioned being a mom and now that is her everyday life. That other person, well, shes just not around anymore, says
Nicole. She took her new life to heart and balances motherhood with
entrepreneurship. A media personality and author, Nicole fashions her
own crafts that she sells on her online store. She pursues DIY projects for
her house, and she does all this without a nanny. When I need a babysitter,
I turn to my mom or dad, admits Nicole. Most of her work is done at night
after her nuggets are put to bed.
While transforming her postbaby body, Nicole proved to herself that she
had stick-to-itiveness. As her physical strength and tone returned, she
understood the power of determination and dedication to setting goals and
working hard. In her new book, along with a planned workout, Nicole
unleashes her new mindset: a strong sense of self, solid relationships, a
clear vision of what you want, and being grateful for all of it. While not a
professional trainer, nutritionist, or life coach, Nicole doesnt hold back
from giving her opinions. Lets be honest, she says. Five years ago, most
of the people who saw me on TV thought Id wind up in rehab, a psych
ward, or prison. Nicole has figured out how to be strong in more than one
way. When you balance emotional strength with physical power, you feel
the force in your body, heart, and soul. Youre unbeatable.
Not a stranger to BEA, Nicole hopes that booksellers will be drawn by
her new aesthetic. She will be at the Running Press booth (738) today at 2

Katherine Heiny has learned to ignore conventional wisdom about the path a fiction
writer is supposed to take to find success. For
one thing, her first book, Single, Carefree, Mellow, released this past February by Knopf, is a
short story collectiona genre she had
repeatedly been told during her M.F.A. program at Columbia was better for later in ones
writing career.
The belief was that a novel was the first
thing you publish, says Heiny. But while waiting for an idea for a novel to occur to her, she
kept coming up with concepts for short stories
faster than I could write them down. She
trusted these instincts and focused on developing as a short story writer, finding it really
liberating.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu tells us, In the midst of chaos,
there is also opportunity. Approaching the publishing
market in China, it can be hard to distinguish the opportunities from the chaos. We all know the impressive size
of the market and its potential, but starting with the
number 1.4 billion in mind can be daunting.
Shawn Morin
At Ingram we believe any publisher, large or small,
can build a successful business in China. The key is developing a comprehensive and flexible strategy that considers the complexities of the market
and uses them to your advantage.
The Chinese market can be easily segmented and approached by region.
The population of Beijing is 26 million and the Pearl River Delta is home to
65.5 million people. As Chinas growing middle class demands ever-increasing quantities of high-quality foreign content, the opportunity has never been
greater for international publishers. And most of this key consumer group
is located on Chinas urban eastern seaboard. When embarking on a China
strategy for your business, approaching these cities and regions individually allows you to focus on manageably sized markets and to create attainable short-term goals.
All books imported into China must go through one of Chinas 40+ state-importers and pass an approval process. In 2012 alone China acquired a total
of 16,115 book titles from abroad, according to statistics in China Publishers
Yearbook. Of these, 4,944 were from the U.S., 2,581 from England, 2,006 from
Japan 1,209 from Korea, 874 from Germany, and 835 from France.
With the connectivity and technology available today, getting content into
China has never been simpler. And with the development of print-on-demand partnerships and e-book channels, Ingram is working to broaden the
ways publishers can access readers in China.

With both the retail and distribution sectors open to private business since
2001, the Chinese book retail industry is a dynamic force with expansive
opportunities for international publishers.
The Xinhua group, Chinas largest network of book retailers, is often
misunderstood as a centrally state-run entity. In fact, Xinhua stores operate
independently at a regional and provincial level. Xinhua owns 17 of Chinas
largest 20 bookstores with branches across the country, from megacities to
the rural countryside.
Private bookstores are an integral part of Chinas rich literary history,
with some of them even considered sites of national cultural significance.
Youd be amazed to see the crowds that converge every weekend on these
landmark shops, which often contain cafes, restaurants, and social spaces
for cultural activities.
With the rise of companies like Alibaba, Chinas e-commerce industry has
gained global attention for its tenacity and innovation. Chinas online book
business is no different, and companies like DangDang and JD.com continue
to grow and capture impressive portions of the book market. Chinas three
largest book e-retailers account for 60% of online book sales.

Digital publishing has been around since the early days of the Internet in
China, and today more than 200 million people in China read digital publications. Looking even further ahead, Emarketer, a leading research firm on
digital marketing, anticipates that more than half of Chinas population will
have a smartphone by 2018. Given these impressive figures, it is unsurprising that Chinas digital publishing business reported year-on-year revenue
growth of 40.5% in 2012.
It is not only the numbers that present a compelling picture of Chinas
digital book market. Online literature now boasts more than 10 years of history in China, and its cultural relevance should not be underestimated. In
2013, many online writers made the list of the countrys richest authors.
Online literature plays an important role in the entertainment industry:
popular works have been adapted to film, both television series and feature
films, with very high ratings. In the past, readers accessed online literature
and series via desktop computers, but now users are more likely to use
mobile phones and tablets
It could be said that the Chinese consumer was ready for digital content
before the publishing industry had any to sell. Although cellphones and tablets are the favored reading device, the e-book market is in its infancy. The
majority of digital content available is still in html format and paid for per
chapter or by a monthly subscription. Content is purchased on phones or

Summer Reads
Earlier this year, PWs editors picked
the books they are most looking forward to reading this summer. Heres
a sampling of whos reading what.
The Argonauts
Maggie Nelson (Graywolf)
Reading Nelson is like sweeping the
leaves out of your mental driveway:
by the end of one of her books, you
have a better understanding of how
the world works. The Argonauts is
about her relationship with Harry
Dodge, her pregnancy, and becoming a mother, and its supplemented
with references to Roland Barthes,
The Shining, Anne Carson, Atari
games, and more. The result is one
of the most intelligent, generous,
and moving books of the year.

editor
Let Me Tell You: New Stories,
Essays, and Other Writings
Shirley Jackson (Random)
Sixty years before Suzanne Collins
volunteered Katniss as tribute,
Jackson chose Tessie Hutchinson
for certain death in The Lottery,
a staple of required-reading lists.

Im a huge fan of YA fiction, and I
can hardly wait to read this book by
DeVita, who, in addition to being a
writer, is an acclaimed professional
regional stage actor. The Silenced is
about a totalitarian society and a
courageous young woman who forms

John Sellers,

reviews editor
sums up how I feel when reading
anything by Kundera. With this
book, the 86-year-old Czech writer
captures that sensation in less
than 100 pages. A tale of four garrulous friends planning a birthday/
death party in modern-day Paris,
this novel of conversations is brainy,
canny, and goes down smooth.
Seth Satterlee, reviews editor
Adrift
Paul Griffin (Scholastic Press)
This is Griffins first book since
Burning Blue in 2012, which has
stuck with me over the years, right
alongside The Orange Houses
before that, so I was glad to see it
land on our shelves at the office.
The settingMontauk, N.Y.

being buffeted by enormous waves
(along with my memories of
Griffins earlier work) make me
Crooked
Austin Grossman (Little, Brown/
Mulholland)
As a Lovecraft fan, I perked up as
soon as I read the phrase
Lovecraftian suspense in the galley description of this genre-bending thriller, which is narrated by
Richard Nixon some 20 years after
his supposed death. Later, the following passage in chapter two
caught my eye: This is a tale of
espionage and betrayal and the
dark secrets of a decades-long cold
war. It is a story of otherworldly
horror, of strange nameless forces
that lie beneath the reality we
know. In other words, it is the story
of a marriage. The author clearly
has a sense of humor, too. That
clinched this as a must-read for me.
Peter Cannon, senior reviews

Uprooted
Naomi Novik (Del Rey)
Novik has a deep understanding
of both classic European fairy tales
and present-day fantasy fandom,
and shes melded the two into the
story of Agnieszka, a 17-year-old
woman trying to figure out what
she wants from life while getting a
handle on her magical talents.
Every obvious metaphorthe evil
forest encroaching on innocent
towns, Dragons orderly masculine
magic, and Agnieszkas intuitive

layer after layer of deep meaning.
It left me breathless. I dont just
want sequels; I want an entire
genre of books like this.

In an ancient time, a people made homeless by a devastating fire are
led across a treacherous desert by a thrill-seeking thief, to a land he
doesn't believe exists - and he started the fire.
"The characters were fascinating, the magic was brilliant, and the
story telling was smooth. For anyone wishing to read a family
adventure classic, I can highly recommend this book to you." - Echoes
Magazine
If you had something to tell someone that could change their life forever
in a great way, would you tell them, no matter what the impact to you?
And Then Comes Justice is a fun and delightful read about relationships
and the nuances of sharing life together with family, friends, and all
relationships whose door is opened to you.

Three deep loves, rape, murder plot, abuse, crime and trial; one gay
man's true life story and journey to rise above the legacy of a traumatic
childhood that almost destroyed him to emerge at last self forgiving and
true to himself. All 5 Star reviews on Amazon!!
The 1950's and '60's had their share of turmoil and strife. Whether it
was the fear of WWIII or the social upheaval of the Viet Nam war era,
growing up was challenging. However, if you lived in the Bronx with a
great family and fantastic friends, you were home free.
