Booker Prize Notoriety Sparks Rights Run at Indie Publishers

Nice piece at Publishing Perspectives:

One of the publishers, Robert Davidson, founder and MD of Scotland’s Sandstone Press –- the rare MD who answers the phone since, after all, there is only one other member of staff (a part-timer at that) –- is also a published novelist and poet. In the award’s long, 42-year-history, has any other publisher of a Man Booker nominee themselves been a published writer?

And the publishing world continues to turn askew on its axis.
