  • Do Big Profit-Driven Publishers Produce a Positive Predicament?

    Do Big Profit-Driven Publishers Produce a Positive Predicament?
    May 14 2025

    Even our AI assistant had trouble titling this one! But in this second episode, Mick and David picked up their discussion of the major factors disrupting modern publishing, hitting some highlights:

    • Big mergers and their impact on book acquisitions
    • How authors (and small publishers) can deal with truncated selling cycles
    • Why publishing has become so much more dependent on author publicity
    • and How personal stories (memoirs & author-centered nonfiction) are making a comeback

    We close out with some hope that cultural conversations can take center stage in small grassroots publishing again, as the shifting landscape grows ever more diverse...come along!

  • Welcome to the Disruption

    Welcome to the Disruption
    Apr 29 2025

    A new podcast from two "former book industry experts." Editor Mick Silva and publisher and literary agent David Morris cover all manner of things for professional authors trying to navigate the ever-changing publishing landscape.

    In this first episode, we introduce some bigger questions:

    • Why books still matter
    • Can you make money at "creative expression?"
    • Is being "indy" better than being corporate?
    • Can authors find more fun and less frustration?

    David also shared a bit about the biggest disruptor--digital publishing--and what it means for authors.
