Welcome back to #bookpublishing, Dawn Davis. You have so much to contribute and we need you!

Saddened to learn of the death of Michael Denneny, a brilliant and fearless editor and a wonderful colleague to me (in 2 houses, SMP and Crown) and to many others. This interview conveys some of his pioneering career as a gay editor 1/ lambdaliterary.org/2014/10/m…

Another reason to upgrade the U.S. #bookpublishing #supplychain: retailers could pay invoices from multiple publishers with a single check, similar to how it's done in the UK with @batch_services, says @brianoleary of @bisg in @PublishersWkly: bit.ly/brianoleary

Over the next three years, @bisg expects to help the #bookindustry create better #metadata with more effective feedback on problems and inconsistencies, ultimately delivering greater sales, says @brianoleary of @bisg in @PublishersWkly: bit.ly/brianoleary

💔Thank you Michael Denneny, for shouldering your way into publishing & holding your ground, as an openly gay man and a working class guy. You held the door open for so many other underrepresented voices, and held up the sky for two generations of LGBTQ editors. Rest in Power.

Hearing about @NYPL's commitment to liberating copyright data stretching back to the 1890s and putting it in an open source, searchable directory was hands down the most heartening presentation at #dbw23 #dbw2023 @DigiBookWorld

Thanks @miralsattar and @WMG_NYC for last night's eye-opening & inspiring conversation. It was great to see so many publishing pals there, including @mscharlies @JWPRInc @astasin @colleenmriordan @MikeShatzkin @Gal_Kalamazoo - too many to name!
What's the ideal length of a #BookTok video? 7-11 seconds with captions, per @miralsattar @WMG_NYC. There is a strategy to have blurry stuff at end to force you to re-watch, but don't do that if your audience is >40!

Shannon DeVito of Barnes & Noble says what’s been great about #BookTok is the lift we’re seeing in trade paperbacks overall

What’s the difference between a #BookTok influencer and a #bookstagram influencer? @ScribnerBooks' Brianna Yamashita says it depends on who the audience is – generally, #TikTok skews younger.
