Snowbooks on the radio
This morning one of the The Today Programme’s honoured guests was my publisher Snowbooks. Emma Barnes, who has to be the nicest woman in publishing, was on debating book covers with the author Fay Weldon.
Incredibly, everyone who works for Snowbooks takes each of their books/babies through from draft to completion including the designs themselves. They see book covers as advertisements, a concept I fully agree with. Emma’s company not only publishes the best in new literature today (and of course I’m not saying that because I’m on their list), but they also design book covers for other companies.
Fay Weldon, on the other hand, feels she could contribute much to the designs of her book covers. She should start publishing with Snowbooks! They’d listen to her.
Coincidentally, I am meeting Famous Fay tomorrow when she hands out the awards at the writing residential program I have been stationed at for the past week.
