Comments on: Raincoast Books Will No Longer Publish http://mysecretelephant.com/2008/01/08/raincoast-books-will-no-longer-publish/ Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:21:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: kirsti http://mysecretelephant.com/2008/01/08/raincoast-books-will-no-longer-publish/#comment-8 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:29:21 +0000 http://mysecretelephant.com/2008/01/08/raincoast-books-will-no-longer-publish/#comment-8 It is depressing. And I’m sorry to hear that you lost a contract in this. I know quite a few local authors and illustrators who’ve been affected by this and you all have my sympathy.

Sadly, this seems to be the general theme for most Canadian publishers – children’s books seemingly the worst off since they are so expensive to produce. After listening to quite a few interviews with other Canadian publishers (not in relation to this Raincoast issue, mind you), the business looks pretty bleak on the financial front. I’m not sure what the answer is.

But yes, on a lighter note, thanks for stopping by and having a look around and I appreciate the compliment!

I lost a contract because of this. I’m wondering if I should look south. On a lighter note, Your stuff is fabulous! I’m glad I found your blog.
