Description: h:18077 s:427840	This week the Publishing Insiders welcomes Grael Norton! Grael Norton, a publishing consultant with Tucson-based Wheatmark, Inc., comes from a family of authors and editors. His dad has worked as a freelance writer for more than 30 years—the last 20 of those years as a travel writer. His mom is an editor at Highlights for Children, and his sister edits publications for the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. But what really gets his blood rushing is the revolution that is happening in publishing today. In his current role, he specializes in teaching writers the ins-and-outs of selling their work using the twin powers of print-on-demand technology and the Internet. Prior to joining Wheatmark, Norton worked as an editorial assistant for Fodor's Travel Guides, a division of Random House, ran an Internet-based information business selling eBooks on the Web and authored five screenplays — one of which has been successfully produced. Norton is a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in French and Romance philology. Packed with insider scoop on everything publishing, host Penny C. Sansevieri discusses tips and strategies on topics ranging from marketing to promotion and publicity. Penny will also talk about the hottest releases and newest trends with special guest hosts. The Publishing Insiders will deal with the concerns of every writer as well as answer questions regarding anything in the book world. We welcome Laura Holka as a regular guest to host "Coaches Corner" on the Publishing Insiders. Laura is a Producer & Media Coach (a Television veteran of over 25 years). Laura teaches the ABC's of media! Also, Jeniffer Thompson of MonkeyCMedia will be hosting Web Site WOW tips to help you learn the tricks of the trade for designing stellar web sites. Our show also features Paula Krapf - a veteran journalist and internet publicity guru. expand

(cont. from below) bindings, scanty margins and gutters, and so forth, the day may come when a Kindle screen is the more pleasing option! Thank you for another interesting and information show, Publishing Insiders.

It will be fascinating to watch if Kindle and other electronic publishing modes become widely accepted. I see their value for those whose jobs require them to carry around a hundred pounds of manuscript. I enjoy traditional books, however, for what they convey about the graphic styles of their era and because they are a pleasure to handle. Can a little lit-up screen ever give me the same feelings? On the other hand, as modern books are being made every more cheaply with porous paper, glue bindin

As an independent publisher I have a fairly strong platform, but I have a dilemma on my mind. First, I'll say that by some bizarre quirk of nature, I'm on the most-viewed profile page of all time at Goodreads.com and I have 3052 friends. I started an event called Secret Speakers: Read & Rate It and 535 people joined. 40 early readers have heroically read the manuscript online.
