Hi WriteByNighters!
You may remember us adding a host of new publication services a few months ago, one of them being hybrid publication with Atmosphere Press, whose executive editor is also a longtime WBN writing coach and consultant: Nick
Courtright.
We wanted to let you know more about Nick and Atmosphere, and what better source than Nick himself?
Learn the reasons Nick created Atmosphere, what he does to differentiate his press from others, and what he sees in the future for Atmosphere, WBN, our partnership, and publishing in general.
A few choice quotes to whet your whistle:
On seeing a manuscript become a book: "I always find it thrilling when that 8" x 11" monstrosity starts to look layout-wise like something you'd find on your bookshelf."
On Nick's work with Atmosphere's authors: "A writer should expect a lot of honesty from me, but not the mean kind. I think I'm pretty good at delivering difficult news in a way that makes it palatable."
On what kinds of writers Atmosphere will appeal to: those who don't "want to endure the ordeal that is literary publishing's ceaseless rejection tornado."
Feel free to leave any questions -- about Nick, Atmosphere, our hybrid publication service, or about hybrid publication itself -- in the comments section. And request a free consultation to explore what WBN and Atmosphere can do for you!
