So according to our sales reps from all over the country, birds are big. And they're only getting bigger. If you've been waiting to make your move and make a big break in the publishing world, write about birds.
on friday the publishing company that i work for flew all of our sales reps in from all over the country, canada, and one woman from outside north america. we do this twice a year so that they can critique our book covers and titles for the coming season. they not only sell our books, but the books of all other major publishing companies. we spend a full day with them and they give us an ear-full of advice. it's great!
at the very end of the conference, my boss gave them some time to share about up-and-coming trends they are seeing in the business. they said BIRDS. kinda strange, i know. it reminds me of the movie Elf. for them, FARMS were big. "peaches? too vulnerable."
loved your "elf" analogy, kates. made me chuckle out loud (as does any other quote from that movie). athough, now i'm picturing your company rep's as angry little people.
To explain my URL, "molletes" are one of my fondest culinary memories from living in Mexico City. They remind me that every culture has something you can add to your own to make it that much richer. Cut a loaf of French bread in half and then cut those halves in half lengthwise. Toast bread lightly. On the open flat side of the bread, spread fresh frijoles. Lay sliced mozzarella cheese on top and broil. Top with fresh pico de gallo. ¡Buenisimo!
