Outlander episodes (4)11/11/2022 Many writers are starting to look at small presses first, perhaps preferring the more advantageous contract terms they can offer. The publishing industry is shifting and adapting, and the role of small independent publishing houses may be changing with it. Today we will enter the world of a small, artisan publishing house in Spain - Sabina Editorial, a publishing house passionate about books well made that talk about the things that matter. They support writers throughout the exciting and perhaps sometimes terrifying journey of turning their work from a manuscript into a book, to be found on the shelves of our bookshops. Big and small, they are the book makers, the ones who work with the authors we love to make their books and dreams come to life. Samir Mansour is rebuilding his bookstore in Gaza: īook-Ish, a Welsh indie bookstore, is crowdfunding Īnd finally, what a year for African Writing: The Marginalian gives us a wonderful list of best books ġ1 New Books to be grateful for this week: Today I'll share with you 5 articles I read this week from the world of books, and then we'll chat to my guest Emily Feetham about one of her favourite books this year. Welcome back to Got Books, the podcast about books, booksellers and bookmakers. I'm so glad Charlotte agreed to come back to Got Books to tell us about Christmas at Desperate Literature. In fact, Desperate Literature is even open on Christmas Day, to provide a warm bookish space for those who may not yet have Christmas plans. Charlotte is the charming co-owner of Desperate Literature in Madrid, a truly magical independent bookshop in the heart of the city, welcoming Madrilenos, travelers and unidentified walk-ins all year round. Today I will be chatting with Charlotte Delattre, who I am sure you remember from one of our very episodes in season 1. If you're not there though, this conversation is as close as it gets. So if happen to be in Toronto and you're feeling lucky, pay a visit to the Monkey's Paw and see what the Bibliomat has in store for you. His bookshop is also known for its famous BiblioMat, a vending machine that spits out a randomly selected vintage volume in exchange for a token. He specialises in odd books dated before 1980 and he's come to share some the latest additions to his collection on today's episode. Stephen runs perhaps one of the quirkiest bookshops in the world, called the Monkey's Paw in Toronto. Today you can eavesdrop on my conversation with Stephen Fowler, an old friend of ours on Got Books who I'm sure you remember from Season 1. From Dec 3rd to Dec 17th, we'll be publishing an episode every Monday and Friday - that's 5 Christmas episodes for you, in which we're bringing back some of the booksellers that we know and love from past episodes, so they can tell us how they're preparing their bookshops for Christmas, what books to get for the special people in our lives, and what they like or.don't like at all about the holiday season. And welcome to this short Christmas series, meant as a mini-Advent Calendar to get you in the holiday spirit. Welcome back to Got Books, the podcast where we talk to booksellers from all around the world.
