When I do cover a book, publishers often get in touch to thank me.

What publishers don't really get is they're competing with so many more things for people's attention than a few years ago.

But publishers are getting help on this front, too.

"I don't think any publisher has been getting fair value from advertisers."

Cross's publishers got nervous and asked the writer to produce his data.

"We get writers who tell us their last publisher got them six to eight interviews."

But the publishers do not get any piece of that secondary market.

I certainly hope that European journalists and publishers will get their houses in order on this issue.

A system should be created in which authors and publishers get what they are entitled to.

The first publisher out of the bag and you get an offer.
