The Best Newsletters for Publishing Professionals
Books, agents, and the publishing industry, from people who work in it.
Most newsletters about books are written for readers picking what to read next. These lean toward the industry itself: the deals, the trends, and the craft advice that matters to people making books rather than just buying them.
Expect trade coverage of the publishing industry, craft and self-publishing guidance for working authors, and literary coverage that treats books as a business as well as an art form.
If you work in publishing, whether as an agent, editor, or author, this list covers your industry.
