About Publishing Trends


Publishing Trends is a monthly newsletter featuring news and opinion on the changing world of book publishing. Published by the industry veterans of Market Partners International, Publishing Trends is designed to fill in the gaps in the existing trade press with the story behind the story—changes in the executive landscape, deals, events, and gossip, and what the industry really thinks about the book marketplace, the publishing infrastructure, technological innovation, and the multifaceted universe of the book.

Since its inception in Fall 1994, Publishing Trends has continued to cover a wide range of topics, bringing an informed and candid perspective to the industry (see our annual Index). In 1996 CNN created a weekly segment on its media show, Biz Buzz, for Publishing Trends. Featuring live interviews between the show's anchor and an MPI principal, it focused on current publishing issues. In 2000 and 2001 Inside.com, the highly regarded media website, contracted Publishing Trends to contribute regular columns on the book publishing industry.

In addition to in depth articles, subscribers have come to expect these high quality standards that are included in every issue:


  Book View breaks the story of significant personnel shifts in the book industry from promotions to partnerships to departures to the formation of new companies.

The PT Contact Sheets and Industry Charts keep tabs on the whereabouts and contact information of even the most elusive members of the publishing industry so our readers don't have to. Annual features include: Guide to Literary Scouts, Film Scouts, Distribution, UK Publishers, among others.

The Calendar of Book Fairs, Conventions, and Conferences rounds up all the upcoming major and not-so-major national and international publishing events in one easy-to-read sheet..

A feature found nowhere else, the International Bestsellers column is a compilation of the most reliable bestselling fiction lists from 13 countries, translated and standardized, with commentary on undiscovered and untranslated works ripe for rights acquisitions.

Top executives in every sector of book publishing get their news from Publishing Trends. Read in over 30 countries on six continents, PT has become the prevailing resource on American book publishing abroad.
