Writers Workshop with Jim Milliot

Coming soon to Arts on the Lake

Learn about the challenges and opportunities in modern publishing.

Mr. Milliot has been with Publishers Weekly for 23 years, and is currently the Editorial Director. His reporting and insights into the changing publishing industry are often quoted in the media, and he regularly appears on book industry panels.

 

Publishers Weekly, familiarly known in the book world as PW and “the bible of the book business,” is a weekly news magazine focused on the international book publishing business. It is geared toward publishers, booksellers, librarians, literary agents, authors and the media. It offers feature articles and news on all aspects of the book business, bestseller lists in a number of categories, and industry statistics, but its best known service is pre-publication book reviews, publishing some 8,000 per year.

 

Jim’s topics will include: the challenges and opportunities of technology in the industry, the pros and cons of digital and e-books vs traditional print, current trends and observations from a publisher’s point of view, and more.
