Brian WhittenHOST
Great movie.
Matthew HarfieHOST
We can have a bit of a deep dive, maybe do a bit of investigation in the current position that publishers are in.
Matthew HarfieHOST
Maybe we should get someone from a publishing industry on to actually talk from their side.
Matthew HarfieHOST
Yeah.
Matthew HarfieHOST
Anyway, just before we get on with the main body of this episode and our guests, how are things with you? Have you recovered from the Historical Novel Society conference that we were at?

speaker_2NARRATOR
PUBLISHER'S NOTE.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Richard Harding Davis, as a friend and fellow author has written of him, was, quote, youth incarnate, unquote, and there is probably nothing that he wrote of which a boy would not some day come to feel the appeal.
speaker_2NARRATOR
But there are certain of his stories that go with a special directness to a boy's heart and sympathies, and make for him quite unforgettable literature.
AdamHOST
Natasha, this is Bridget Jones.
AdamHOST
Bridget works in Publishing House and she used to play around naked in my paddling
JosieHOST

Carly WattersHOST
The new agent did not respond to Publisher's Lunch's queries about the agency's plans for the author.
Carly WattersHOST
nobody knows kind of well yeah they wouldn't good for them for not responding yeah yeah yeah but there is just a representation update there so jerry has a new agent and that is the update there interesting okay so the next thing that i had on the list to talk about was this was also from publishers lunch i think a couple days ago maybe yesterday but i was really really taken with this um and you'll have to you know, forgive me for taking us on this, this ride, but I think it's a really interesting reflection on the relationship between libraries and book publishing.
Carly WattersHOST
So stay with me here.
John MartinkaHOST
He is an entrepreneur.
John MartinkaHOST
He is a publishing expert and on making people he works with to become an authority via publishing.
John MartinkaHOST
And he's going to share some lessons that most podcasts don't talk about.
John MartinkaHOST
And that's how you do it the wrong way before you do it the right way.
John MartinkaHOST
And we're gonna get to some business lessons.
John MartinkaHOST
But why don't we start out with that big thing? You know, how did you get to where you are by doing things wrong?
H.J. ChammasGUEST
Yeah, so let me give you a short context of how I arrived into the publishing world and how I failed big time in my first venture.
H.J. ChammasGUEST
I'm one of those Lebanese expatriates who left Lebanon about 30 years ago, lived most of my life as an immigrant here and there in so many parts of the world, left my country as a poor guy, and then made myself by working into Dubai as a first student and then in East Asia.
Scott YarbroughHOST
I think that's a very excellent point.
Scott YarbroughHOST
So one of the things I find curious, and you said a little while ago, I think it's true that since Publisher is pushing Alcott to give Joe a, quote, happy ending, by which we mean the marriage plot, she decides to go with Bear over Laurie.
Scott YarbroughHOST
So I really have two questions.
Scott YarbroughHOST
So Bear's...
