Bookseller launches blogs

23.07.07

The Bookseller has launched a series of blogs at www.theBookseller.com/blogs. The blogs will be written by journalists at The Bookseller as well as by industry commentators such as Scott Pack and Anthony Cheetham.

Launch blogs include Lesley Agnew, manager of the Children's Bookshop in Muswell Hill, on "36 hours with Harry Potter"; Bookseller reporter Katherine Rushton on "Who won the PR battle over Harry?"; and Caroline Horn, The Bookseller's Children's news editor, on the price of children's books, plus other submissions from across the editorial team.

Neill Denny, editor-in-chief of The Bookseller, said: "Finally we are blogging! As well as twice daily news updates, we want the improved site to reflect the depth of knowledge and diversity of opinions on The Bookseller and in the trade more widely - and blogging is at the heart of that. We aim to be lively, informative and entertaining - but if we're not, I suspect our readers will let us know. People can comment on every piece submitted."

The blogs are the latest development in the ongoing revamp of the site that re-launched in February this year.
