Bloomsbury Publishing selects Publishers Communication Group
to represent Churchill Archive and Drama Online
PCG to provide global sales, marketing and customer service for new digital collections
Cambridge, MA, February 27, 2012 – Leading independent publisher Bloomsbury and industry consultancy
Publishers Communication Group (PCG) today announce an exclusive sales, marketing and customer service
partnership for Bloomsbury's two newest ventures, the Churchill Archive and Drama Online. The two digital
collections will launch during 2012 under the Bloomsbury Academic imprint of the London-based literary and
reference publisher.
Specializing in the humanities and social sciences, Bloomsbury Academic publishes more than 1,000 books each
year, maintains a backlist of about 20,000 titles, and is aggressively expanding its online portfolio of digital
resources with collections such as Berg Fashion Library, Churchill Archive and Drama Online.
With this agreement, PCG continues to grow its program of full-service global representation for scholarly
publishers. By leveraging local networks in Europe, North America, Latin America, India and China, PCG will
execute sales and multi-channel marketing programs, as well as manage all library-facing customer service and
fulfillment duties for these two collections.
The Churchill Archive makes accessible nearly one million documents amassed by Winston S. Churchill
throughout his life. Published electronically in collaboration with the Sir Winston Churchill Archive Trust and
Churchill Heritage Ltd, and previously only available on microfilm, the collection is designed as a research and
teaching resource documenting Churchill's engagement in national and international affairs over six decades of
public life as soldier, journalist, wartime leader and historian. Drama Online aggregates the most studied,
performed and critically acclaimed plays from the last two and half thousand years from the Methuen Drama,
Arden Shakespeare and Faber lists. The collection meets the full range of drama teaching needs, incorporating
critical analysis, contextual information, performance and practitioner texts from theory to backstage and acting
guides coupled with video and audio material.
Douglas Wright, Director of PCG commented: "We are excited to work with Bloomsbury on these prestigious,
groundbreaking collections. Both the Churchill Archive and Drama Online are ambitious projects, and we are uniquely
positioned with the necessary global infrastructure, cross-functional expertise and library connections to deliver this
valuable content to educators, students and researchers of 20th century history and theatre studies around the world."
Jonathan Glasspool, Managing Director of Bloomsbury Academic said "We are really looking forward to working
with PCG to make these fabulous resources available to as wide a market as possible."

[philanderer] 15/8/2012 16:27

Good to see some chunky 'buys' at 143p and 143.5p this afternoon.

Watching Bloomsbury Publishing(BMY) which has just gone 140.75p. Given huge growth from e-book sales, the proceeds of those windfall profits being invested in further earnings enhancing acquisitions and BMY's current rock bottom rating x 11.6 but going back 12 years the rating has varied between 14 and 21 times on average, and that explosive growth continuing for several years(as we catch up with the USA)I can only see a sharply higher share price short term, and longer term for that matter.I think this is an opportunity where shareholders can easily create their luck by just holding for the next 2/3 years because the e-book boom is a simple and compelling story I think there's a very good chance that BMY's rating will go sky high, maybe 40 times earnings and the institutions pile in together but only when the share price has risen a few pounds first.

Culture and chaos

Tuesday , August 14, 2012

A literary revolution of sorts has overtaken the country in the past decade. The global excitement over India's English-language novelists that began when in the late 90s has now moved past surprise and delight to the point where Indians are now expected to routinely win major awards and write big books. Renowned British literary agency Aitken Alexander Associates has opened an office in India. Bloomsbury and Simon & Schuster have also launched Indian divisions.

It's important to note that all the optimism surrounding the publishing scene in India comes amidst a worldwide recession that's hit the publishing industry in the West pretty hard. Bookstores in the US have been losing out to Amazon and digital alternatives, where it's largely doom and gloom among editors and literary agents. But that is not quite the case in India, where the Internet and kindle are still not as pervasive as in the West. On the other hand, the whole genre of 100-rupees pulpy paperbacks is easy to produce and even easier to sell.

Bloomsbury Nabs Portrait of Medical Mystery

Kathy Belden at Bloomsbury preempted world English rights to Maud Casey's The Man Who Walked Away. Casey lives in Washington, D.C., and teaches English and creative writing at the University of Maryland; excerpts of the novel received the Calvino Prize (a writing award given by the University of Louisville). The novel, set in the 1800s in Bordeaux, France, was inspired by the relationship between Albert Dadas and his physician: Dadas was diagnosed with an ailment known as "walking fugue," which caused him, as the publisher put it, to go on "trance-like wanderings." Casey's previous books include The Shape of Things to Come and Genealogy. Alice Tasman at the Jean Naggar Literary Agency represented her.
