Why nine times out of ten we say NO in Melvil
At Jan Melvil Publishing, we follow the rule that it is better to choose and publish fewer good books and then sell as many as possible. Effort devoted to one title rewards us threefold: 1) in satisfaction – a high-impact title has a huge positive impact on the company and fills our team with a sense of purpose, 2) cost and financially, and 3) high quality takes care of our corporate longevity. In this talk, I’ll try to show how we make decisions when choosing titles.
