Ditto to the following observations by Charles…if the demand is there, publishers will fill it asap….Unfortunately, books lovers tend to preach/talk to the already converted…and sometimes blame others in the community for this/that instead of looking at/examining the culture/society at large… Norma Jean
I think the focus on agents, publishers and librarians has been a blind alley and that the real work needs to be around increasing reading demand. It is an opinion buttressed by a reasonable amount of evidence but it cannot be interpreted as a proven fact. We simply do not know enough yet.
My recommendation would be that we focus on 1) Finding ways to increase reading enthusiasm in all communities, thus increasing demand.
