"The British Library exhibition shows a lot of them: an early draft of The Philosopher’s Stone in which Voldemort is described as a snort-worthy “red-eyed dwarf”"

"A handwritten draft of the Sorting Hat song has barely any changes, Harry’s class list is exact, and her hand-drawn map of the Hogwarts grounds, complete with a wonky giant squid bobbing in the lake, is the school we know."

Bloomsbury Publishing Exec Interview

MsMantikas — 2024-01-26 14:17:58 UTC

One of Newton's favorite maxims is "out of uncertainty comes discovery." But the chairman and chief executive of Bloomsbury had no inkling what a gold mine he had discovered when he offered J.K. Rowling a £2,500 advance ($4,700 at the current rate) for her first Harry Potter book. In fact, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and its four successors went on to earn more money within the next decade than just about any book except the Bible. "We hit it lucky," says Newton, whose accent hardly betrays his California upbringing.

Not since ''Gone With the Wind'' has a best-selling book swept the nation the way Harry Potter has, the booksellers say. The first three titles dominated best-seller lists last year and have already racked up sales of more than 18 million copies in the United States alone. With the publication of the fourth, Harry Potter has become a phenomenon in both book publishing and children's culture. For the moment, the hottest trend at elementary schools and summer camps is not a video game or a movie -- it is an old-fashioned, ink-and-paper book.

''There has never been anything like this is the history of book selling,'' said Steve Riggio, vice chairman of Barnes & Noble. ''I think this could be the most profitable book we ever sold; if we can get kids hooked on a seven-book series, hopefully we could get them hooked on reading for life.'

If the author doesn’t have a distinct voice to begin with—no matter how cool their concept sounds—their book won’t stand out in the imprint or the marketplace. That’s why voice is the first thing we look for in the writing sample. Another important element is tone—that snarky brand of humor that Rick’s fans have come to love and expect.
