January 11, 2008 by Nathan Bransford29 Comments

Este semana en… um.. publishing. The Millions took a look at the fiction published by the New Yorker from 2003-2007 and found some interesting trends. 37.4% were written by women, only 52% of the writers hailed from the US, and perhaps more interestingly, a mere 14 writers have accounted for 32% of the fiction, including […]

This Year in Publishing 2007

December 21, 2007 by Nathan Bransford48 Comments

Well, I slapped my head on my way to work this morning because I belatedly realized I should have done an extensive “This YEAR in Publishing” retrospective and put time into a thoughtful look back on the year in publishing and the first year of this blog. Whoops. So here’s the year in publishing, 2007, […]
