June Brown Bag Lunch Wrap Up

JUNE: Book Selling & Book Buying with Michael Burkin
Tuesday, June 27th

On June 27th, Michael Burkin spoke at our Sales Brown Bag Luncheon. Michael drew from over 15 years of publishing experience to give YPG members an overview of the Sales department's various responsibilities such as communicating with national vs. independent accounts, launching paperback originals and dealing with a returnable product. He also spoke about emerging trends like the ever-growing used book market and the issues surrounding e-books. YPG members were so engrossed in Michael's speech that the lunch hour seemed too short!
