SUBSCRIBE to PW Magazine: publishersweekly.com/magazinesub SUBSCRIBE (free) to PW Newsletters: publishersweekly.com/newslettersub In order to keep this group successful, please observe the following three rules: 1) Content posted must ask a question or contain advice of value in the post. NOTE FOR MARKETERS: We’re all book publishing professionals and have lots of content to share, but this is not the place to promote your services or next book. This is the place to ask your peers’ advice and share your experiences and resources. Content that is auto-posted, does not contain a relevant question, is solicitation, SPAM or a sales pitch, and will be deleted immediately. 2) Be curious with your fellow group members. This means respecting opinions (cordial disagreement is fine), refraining from rude or violent language, and not soliciting group members. Violation of this rule will result in automatic removal from the group. 3) Please do not be “spammy" with posts. This means posting the same post multiple times or posting articles without commentary. Please be sure to point out something interesting from the article when you post. Thank you for joining the Publishers Weekly group.
