Where do you get your books ?
People ask. Well, one thing is for sure - we almost never get offered anything by literary agents. That is because we pay a flat, universal advance of £1,000 and do not enter into auctions or competition or negotiations. Agents don`t like that, they like high advances. But Long Barn cannot afford to pay them. We put all our money into good production and marketing our books so we hope that our authors start to earn money pretty quickly. We go looking for novels published abroad which have not been picked up by major publishers. We bring back out of print titles which we think deserve a second chance and a new audience. We have ideas ourselves and commission the books on that basis, or we write them. We run competitions. Our First Novel competition has ceased but we will still run our annual Good Loo Book competition. I am thinking of running a competition for a children`s book too. It`s exciting. We have to work hard at it. But if we don`t find what we want, we don`t acquire something for the sake of filling the list.
Next year we are doubling the number of titles. Want a glimpse of what`s upcoming ? OK. Three new series for younger children. A stunning first novel, TWISTED WING, a psychological thriller set in Cambridge. Three American novels - one a bestseller in the US, called Eating Heaven - see Adele Geras`s website for a wonderful mention of it. Two American thrillers in the Lee Child/Michael Connolly mould. Three Hundred Beautiful Things, by Clare Grant and based on her Blog of the same name. And a terrific book about the people you find in pubs.
Oh and I have just commissioned a book from my fellow blogger Dove Grey Reader - Writing from a Reading Life.
Lots to look forward to and more besides.
