The "Big Five" publishers (Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Hachette) continue to dominate, and traditional publishing with contracts and advances and royalties continues to be the majority of all book publishing. But it can't be denied that self-published books are here to stay and are selling in increasing numbers. If you're still someone who goes to a bookstore or relies on media outlets like TV or even big-name websites to find new books to read, you probably haven't heard of many self-published books—and you may be missing out." | | | | | Flops, Flubs, & Failures: 6 Classic Books That Almost Weren't | | "Despite its innovation, its astute cultural references, and its detail-specific realism, however, the book was a commercial and critical failure. The terrible reception was a destructive blow to Melville which led him to defy his critics by writing in an increasingly experimental style. He eventually stopped writing novels and turned his attention to poetry. Melville died in 1891, virtually forgotten, and would not be rediscovered until the 1920s." | | | | | The Best YA Novels for Adults | | "Some young adult books have such interesting stories and compelling characters that they are not only good reads for teens, but can also be very enjoyable for adults. The books on this list will delight readers young and old alike." | | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About Entertainment newsletter.
