“Unlocking the Future of Publishing: Richard Charkin Reveals Surprising Insights from the Charleston Conference”
Egos were left on the tarmac. Ideas were promulgated, picked up, argued for and against. And however strong any disagreements were, there was a totally appropriate degree of courtesy. Publishers met librarians without (too much) arguing about prices and other vendors were welcomed to the party. And outside the sessions the networking—an expression and concept I dislike—did what it’s meant to do, bring people together outside the formal schedule and allow new friendships to develop.
In short, Charleston is absolutely vital for anyone with an interest in the core elements of our joint business—helping readers find what they need to read authors finding the readers they need to reach. It’s an international venture, starting in Fiesole and now launching in Bangkok and who knows where next.
