Here are some tidbits
from the publishing world:
Ruth Pomerance has joined Folio Literary Management as
literary and dramatic rights agent. She will build her own client list while
adding to Folio's presence in the feature film, television, theater, and gaming
industries.
A poll
conducted for USA Today and Bookish finds that 40% of adults —
including 46% of those ages 18 to 39 — own an e-reader or a tablet. That's more
than double the numbers less than two years ago.
At the
Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency, Ross Harris has
been promoted to literary agent.
In
the UK, the Blake Friedmann Literary Agency has hired David Newton as
finance manager. He worked previously for Rogers, Coleridge & White and The
Wylie Agency. Newton replaces, Adrian Clarke, who is leaving after nine years
to pursue interests outside publishing.
Laetitia
Rutherford has
joined Watson, Little as an agent. Previously she was an agent at Mulcahy
Associates
I'm honestly surprised it's only 40% who own tablets or e-readers. Still, it shows that market is making gains.
ReplyDeleteI'm like Elizabeth, I thought the percent would be a lot higher.

Me, too. Both my husband and I have iPads that we read on.
