Finn Harvor, a Canadian writer living in South Korea, has started a new book and publishing-themed blog entitled Conversations in the Book Trade, featuring e-mail interviews with various publishing personalities. So far, Harvor has interviewed Richard Nash, publisher of Soft Skull Press; Fred Ramey, co-publisher of Unbridled Books; and Beverley Daurio, owner of Canada’s Mercury Press.
The questions remain the same in each interview, the blog’s look is still rough, and the interviewees can be a little long-winded, but there are some gems, such as when Nash declares that all talk of declining literary fiction sales due to 9/11 is just “soundbite stuff,” the result of “journalists trying to shoehorn trend pieces.”
