We were delighted to write this piece for @thebookseller ! In an age when the price of a book often bears little relation to the effort invested in its creation, independent publishers in particular face a critical question: Should they charge more for their books? @kenyon_isabelle spoke to @GalleyBeggars @TheEmmaPress and @404Ink Currently, none of the small publishers surveyed were able to sustain salaries, or hire new staff at minimum or living wages, from current RRPs/book sales alone, and rely on funding or freelance work. In this article, we look at societal values and the price of knowledge, as well as utopian and practical solutions to book pricing. thebookseller.com/comment/th…
