UPDATE: PUBRANTS SAYS THIS DOESN’T INCLUDE KIDS! HERE
No seriously they have
Here & Here:
It’s been clear for months that it will be a not-so-merry holiday season for publishers, but at least one house has gone so far as to halt acquisitions. PW has learned that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has asked its editors to stop buying books.
I don’t understand this entirely but I do see this as being an enormously worrying development!

Berry Bros & Rudd
I’m just back from fine dinner in the fantastic upstairs room of the Weights & Measure building that Berry Bros & Rudd now occupy. The meal was for panelists and speakers at tomorrow’s (Or today’s) Arts Council Conference on New Media, New Audience?.
If the conversation tonight it anything to go by, tomorrow should be amazing. You can read the full agenda here.
Andrew Keen & Charles Leadbeater will be speaking which I think is frankly amazing! Go the Arts Council and Anette Clancy who is doing much of the work for scoring two such highly rated speakers!
I’ll be chairing the New Media in Practice panel! I’ll update with how it went tomorrow!
