Ep 3 Publishing Trends in a Post-Covid World
As the world slowly reels itself back to adjust with the ‘new normal’, a pertinent question to be asked is: what kind of possibilities does the new normal hold for publishing? The pandemic has not changed the way publishers have responded to the complete global shutdown, it has also affected the way we read. Alexandra Pringle, Diya Kar and Sayantan Ghosh come together to discuss with Amit Varma on the new outlook publishers have gained on the kind of books that readers prefer to read and how they prefer to read. Alexandra Pringle is Executive Publisher at Bloomsbury UK. Diya Kar is Publisher and Rights Director at HarperCollins India. Sayantan Ghosh is Senior Commissioning Editor at Simon and Schuster. Amit Varma is a writer and podcaster, and hosts the popular podcast, The Seen and the Unseen.
