If you look at the publishers I've worked with, generally, they're a great bunch. Creation is unlike any other publishing house you can think of. The people I've worked with have integrity and intelligence and, almost always, less money than ideas.

Publishing

Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature, music, or information — the activity of making information available to the general public.

Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as micropublishing, websites, blogs, video game publishers and the like. Publishing includes the stages of the development, acquisition, copy editing, graphic design, production – printing, and marketing and distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, literary works, musical works, software and other works dealing with information, including the electronic media.

10 QUOTES WITH «PUBLISHING HOUSE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word publishing house.
1
Otis Blackwell
I used to be with a publishing house called Roosevelt Music. A gentleman there told me he had seen Peggy Lee perform Fever in Las Vegas and I found out later she wanted to record it.
2
Anna Chlumsky
First, I was a fact checker for Zagat and then I was an editorial assistant for HarperCollins publishing house.
3
Jasmine Cresswell
I think you have to have a publishing house that offers you some support.
4
Sloane Crosley
For me, titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try, they can be really hard to repair. Or, worse, if the author thinks they pop out perfect, but the publishing house does not agree, it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.
5
Dave Eggers
I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
6
Vince Flynn
I have been blessed to have the same editor and work for a great publishing house.
7
Lori Foster
There are plenty of secondary characters that I had always hoped to write, but I don't know if it will ever happen. The way contracts work, if you leave one publishing house for another, the characters tend to stay with the previous publishing house.
8
Alexander Osterwalder
You need to be naive enough to do things differently. No big publishing house would have allowed us to co-create a fully designed, four color business book in landscape format - because it was contrary to the publishing industry logic. However, we thought of Business Model Generation as a product, not just a book - similar to Apple products.

J. Tillman
I've never taken the steps to be 'successful': I've never had a manager or signed to a publishing house.
