Novel Idea

Hurrah! Gary Cumminsky wrote about Novel Idea for leading international industry magazine The Bookseller. The story was held back from online for a while, Gary tells me, so that it could be “broken” in the print edition first. A couple of weeks ago, I had a long chat to James Long, one of the bloggers on Pan Macmillan’s site The Digitalist, about Novel Idea (they’ve have been thinking about rolling out similar projects – we did it first, though). This interest from the UK market shows that South African publishers are doing innovative work in a global context – something to feel proud of and to build on.
