Chief executives, bankers, hospital administrators, heads of public relations firms and publishing houses, lawyers, marketers, caterers: Certain standards of appearance have long been de rigueur for women in these positions, from being reasonably fit and appropriately dressed to displaying attractive coifs and manicured nails.

I spent those years not writing, a secret I hid from my students who were winning awards for their fiction, and from my editing clients whose novels were acquired (one after another, it seemed to me in my dejected state) by major publishing houses.

Apart from the strange spectacle of a former president collaborating on a thriller with a celebrity author, the project is unusual in that two large publishing houses, which are normally competitors, are releasing the novel together, with both company's logos displayed on all editions.

Summer hasn't (officially) started yet, but the literary world is already revving up for September: Publishing houses have started sending out their fall releases, and in New York, the Brooklyn Book Festival, one of the city's largest book events, is assembling this year's roster.

Music festivals, ad agencies, music publishing houses, beauty pageants, fight promotions: WME is putting its fingers in every pie in the entertainment/branding/marketing universe, blurring the lines once and for all between talent and bosses, brand and content, clients and employees, life and marketing.

The estates of Arthur C. Clarke, Jack Kerouac, Truman Capote and Ernest Hemingway, with the publishing houses Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster, have filed a copyright lawsuit against Mr. Colting and his partner, Melissa Medina, for releasing illustrated children's books based on those authors' works.

The qualities that make A Wrinkle in Time so special are also why it was rejected by 26 publishing houses before Farrar, Straus, and Giroux finally gave it a chance, why it took decades to be adapted into a movie – and why the book has been banned so frequently.

Blair's influence radiated outward quickly, crossing publishing houses and genres: Lydian is used on Andrew Martin's fiction debut Early Work, released by Farrar, Strauss & Giroux last year, as well as Qing Li's Forest Bathing, a guide to using trees to make you healthier, published by Penguin Random House.

Eventually, it be came clear to Howe that the limiting factor for her imagined educational movement was the lack of quality texts to teach in these courses—not because they didn't exist, but because publishing houses concerned about a small market had allowed them to go out of print.

But if the same editors at the same publishing houses are pushing the same tales about Harriet Tubman, Dr. King, Muhammad Ali, and how black people "overcame," often written and illustrated by white writers and artists, well, they will have missed the opportunity to really nourish our children.

But like all publishing houses, FSG, which is owned by Macmillan, has struggled to adapt to seismic changes in the industry, with the rise of e-books and online retail, and a shifting cultural landscape where social media has eaten into our collective reading habits and attention spans.

In the last decade or so, literary festivals, book prizes and writing workshops have sprung up around the country, and a handful of influential new publishing houses have been formed, including Cassava Republic, Farafina, Parrésia and Ouida Books, which was founded last year by the novelist Lola Shoneyin.

Rosset bought Grove Press, a Greenwich Village startup with three titles to its name, for three thousand dollars, in 21962, and he did something with it that is fairly uncommon for American publishing houses, which tend to invest in a diversified portfolio: he made Grove into a brand.
|

The last of the old five publishing houses went under last spring; most high school libraries have been converted into virtual reality lounges; bookstores are now antiques shops haunted by aging millennials and the kinds of effortlessly hip retro teenagers who might have collected vinyl records in previous decades.

I also thought that, finally, the gross inequities in pay that still exist for women, the imbalance in the share of management positions held by men, and the profound lack of diversity within publishing houses and in what is being published would be widely and publicly acknowledged as publishing's culture problem.
|

There was an obvious irony to his story, a karmic boomerang: Jackson, who is black and gay, often worked as a "sensitivity reader" for major publishing houses, which meant his job was to flag just the sort of problem content for which he was now being run out of town.
|
|
While it is difficult to isolate the impact of a social-media post from the other facets of a promotional campaign, nearly all the major publishing houses see these accounts as a way to connect with audiences that would be difficult to reach through the traditional organs of book publicity.

The move to embrace art and culture has incorporated local tradition: Arab presenters host English-language radio stations funded by the government, European publishing houses translate Arabic novels into English; and a philharmonic orchestra founded in 2007 balances its European repertory with the Arabian of its resident composer, a prominent Lebanese oud player.

For white police officers who commit murder, for white politicians and heads of television networks or publishing houses or universities who — though they admit their inefficacy in protecting, promoting and celebrating minorities, do not step down from their own posts to make way — the answer, always, is the fear of relinquishing control.
|

Over the last few years, however, several publishing houses have begun to reissue Zweig's works — in slow bursts at first, and then in a fusillade, so that American audiences might delight in the short stories, novellas, biographies, essays and powerful novel, "Beware of Pity," that brought Zweig so much glamour and recognition between the first and second World Wars.
|

Some of the earliest books from conservative publishing houses blamed President Franklin Roosevelt for the attack on Pearl Harbor: George Morgenstern's "Pearl Harbor: The Story of the Secret War" and Robert A.

So I invited a mix of people from Toronto—a James Beard award-winning cookbook author; a yoga-addicted, chain-smoking chef with six popular restaurants; a woman who oversees five hundred employees as director of operations at one of the city's larger restaurant groups; the head of PR for one of North America's big publishing houses; and a sommelier-at-large.

Ulises fills the gap in Philly between established arts institutions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Institute of Contemporary Art, which have publishing houses and large bookshops, and slightly more alternative exhibiting performance spaces that focus more on programing and live events, like the Fabric Workshop, by building a space that focuses on books as a lens onto contemporary art.

But the following publicists make that job look easy, and it's worth noting that, despite having fewer resources than any of the big five publishing houses, their books have made huge critical splashes, sold-out first printings, and have proven that there absolutely is an audience for strange and beautiful books: people like Sarah Jean Grimm, Lena Moses-Schmitt, and Carla Bruce-Eddings, at Catapult/Soft Skull/Counterpoint, have helped the world learn about books like Fiona Alison Duncan's Exquisite Mariposa, Lucy Ives' Loudermilk, and the just-released Black Sunday, by Tola Rotimi Abraham.
