MicrophoneA new column starts next Thursday: interviews with small and medium-sized Italian publishing houses. Interviewing writers is useful to get to know them better and perhaps glean some secrets or advice, but I think it is also useful to know the publishing houses. I therefore asked several publishers for an interview, on various topics, to get a picture of how that publishing house sees the market and its work. Below are the questions I asked.
For the answers, follow the issue of Special Data every Thursday, except the penultimate Thursday of the month which is dedicated to new words. What was your dream at the beginning of your publishing adventure and what has changed since then? An objective judgment on Italian publishing: what future does it have and how will it have to evolve to remain active? How do you establish a dialogue with your readers? Do you consider it sufficient? What would you recommend to aspiring writers who would like to publish with you? In Italy we read little: a phrase that we hear too often lately.
What do you think are the reasons for this poor reading attitude and what "measures" do you take - or would you like to take - to increase these numbers? Are you generally satisfied with your editorial marketing campaigns? And how much do your authors put into promoting their books? Do you have positive feedback from your web presence? How important do you think it is and how would you like to improve it? Why should a reader read your books? What makes your catalog different from countless others.
