This week on Adventures in Publishing-land, we’re heading to San Francisco to look at Bindery Books. This startup is turning “bookfluencers” into acquiring editors, letting communities choose their own bestsellers. Is this the “Taylor’s Version” of publishing, or a risky bet on “tastemakers”? Plus, we discuss top literary agencies sounding the alarm on “formulaic” and “flattened” AI-generated queries, and also return to the topic of genre snobbery, and why fantasy is making everyone think again about it.
