Tony Berkman’s Interview-What you need to know to avoid the slush pile

The Beatles~”Paperback Writer” Lyrics

Paper back writer (paperback writer)

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,

Paperback writer.

It’s the dirty story of a dirty man

And his clinging wife doesn’t understand.

The son (The Sun) is working for the Daily Mail,

It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,

Paperback writer.

It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few,

I’ll be writing more in a week or two.

I can make it longer if you like the style,

I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,

If you really like it you can have the rights,

It could make a million for you overnight.

If you must return it, you can send it here

But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,

Paperback writer……


Tony Berkman, Blog Catalog’s CEO, recently asked me for an interview.

Tony contacted me and asked if we could discuss the changes happening today in the world of publishing.

He asked:

“With the dramatic shift taking place from print to digital media publications of books this would seem to be an attractive space to be in. What are your views as to where we are headed regarding digital books whether eBooks or printed books?”
