Publisher’s Letter Publishing. We don’t do it for the money, we do it because we believe in what we do. It’s more than a business, ‘IT’ matters. People matter. Ideas matter. Everything matters. Having been coast-tocoast, meeting publishers, authors, editors, marketers, I realize that every day is a new day with new ideas in this ever-evolutionary industry. There is always a tremendous amount of excitement, passion, and urgency in everything we do. Publishing is tough, but when readers connect with our work, it’s immensely gratifying. With so much at stake, I was thinking about what it takes to make independent publishing happen. So, I looked at those who work tirelessly, starting with the “40 under Forty”, and making an impact on our industry. In this issue, I share many of the nomination forms entries I received about the people that are making it happen every single day. They have integrity. They are principled. They are authentic. They are extremely hard working. They blur job functions. They empower others. They are inclusive. They give voice to those who are hardly heard from. They strive at everything they do, and help the people around them be successful. They raise people up. They use technology. They are progressive. They train, and give training. They give back. They are involved. Simply put, they are talented. They are the young ‘movers and shakers’. Some need more opportunities, as they have shown others in our industry, and take notice of them. In a constant state of uplifting people, resources, and the work, they prove how hard this work is, and with results that matter. Independent publishing is as passionate and as collaborative a field you can get, driven by a desire to make a difference. Looking at these qualities of these contributors is what it takes to make success in this industry. Let’s celebrate them! Join us at BookCAMP 2024 on June 23, 2024 to receive and recognize them and their efforts. Until next issue,
