Comments on: A HarperCollins trifecta (and some change) http://eoinpurcellsblog.com/2008/08/20/a-harpercollins-trifecta-and-some-change/ It's that simple -- and that hard. And that inescapable.

The praise is hardly warranted but I welcome it all the same! I am thinking of ways of doing some kind of survey of smaller blogs and I’ve had a few thoughts about it too.

Natalie,

I think you have hit the sweet spot of blogs there alright! Especially when a team is given freedom to express themselves within the context of a blog.

As Seth Godin might say it build permission for you and gets you attention. Which makes selling your books easier.

I assume that you are going to cover a few more publisher efforts. Will the Bookseller commission a feature from you on it? At the very least…. perhaps you and your blog reviews should become a branch line of the Nibbies. Industry recognition for Purcell is needed!

I think one of the nicest things about the blogs is that they can be alot more informal than the ‘official’ website – and more open to easy updates without having to run everything through red tape and so on. The Voyager Australia blog (which I run) only kicked off properly in March this year so we’re always looking to improve – and I enjoyed your suggestions on how to maintain a good publishing blog.
