Writers Open the Books on Publishing New fiction titles might grab the big buck awards and the headlines, but it's non-fiction that continues to make the publishing world go round. According to the latest figures available from Bowker, the industry expert, there were 276,000 new titles published last year in the U.S. alone and nearly 80 per cent of those were non-fiction. This week writers and readers can learn more about how the non-fiction world works when the Okanagan Institute Express series hosts Hot Type: Writing That Moves, Motivates & Inspires on Thursday, July 17 at 4:30 pm at the Bohemian Café. Publisher, editor and writer Jim Taylor, and three top writers, offer different perspectives on how to approach this lucrative field - including getting good money for your work. » This is a free event.
