Troy Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 This is why indie presses are so important. Can you image anyone from a "big five" New York publisher saying anything close to what she sister is saying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Gale Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 How utterly refreshing to wake up to this. Thanks so much for sharing this video about this amazing young woman. In a brief recap, this is what I picked up on: Jolyon spoke of questioning being essential to one's development, saying that we don't ask sufficient questions of our governments. She spoke about writing from one's internal world and, how writing is the mechanism for freedom of the mind and imagination. She spoke about the importance of having great covers for books and how these covers are the objects of beauty!!! In addressing on how best to publish the interiors of children's books, she said that while "full color" is very expensive to produce, it is essential in children's books because they will experience plenty of black and white in their worlds as they grow into their lives--let them experience color, she said. And finally, she spoke to culture as being the foundation to a narrative. Troy, I absolutely agree with you. This is exactly why indie presses are important. I love imaginative book covers, both my books' interiors are in full color, and I totally agree with her about questioning. Self publishing my books via independent publishing allows me to own my imagination and creativity in how I direct what I write. This lady is awesome. Thank God for her!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yes she is great isn't she @Shirley Gale. She is one of the reasons I have to really work hard to incorporate the work of publishers outside the U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
