1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Bloomsbury Publishing&amp;nbsp;has been in business for almost forty years. Last year it earned £361.0 million. Over the past five years it’s taken in more than £1.4 Billion. It’s one of, if not the most successful publishing ventures of the past century. How does this work? I asked Founder and Chief Executive&amp;nbsp;Nigel Newton. Here we talk about, among other things, Frank Newton — Nigel’s prospecting, race car-driving grandfather; about Peter, his wine-making father; about book publishing and stock picking; the acquisition A&amp;amp;C Black;&amp;nbsp;The Garrick Club; ‘romantasy’ and Sarah J. Maas; Liz Calder; floatation in 1994; aspiring to be mid-sized; Christopher Little; J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter being a fluke; Amazon observing territorial copyright; AI licensing agreements as unforeseen backlist windfalls; suing AI companies; ideal publishing companies; surviving medically; Emotional Intelligence;&amp;nbsp;The History of Bloomsbury Publishing&amp;nbsp;coming out in April, 2027 to celebrate 40th years in business; Anthony Blonde’s book - not&amp;nbsp;The Truth about Publishing. It’s either&amp;nbsp;The Publishing Game (1971)&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;The Book Book (1983) (for sure I own at least one of these, and I’m going to say, almost 100%,&amp;nbsp;it’s signed); foreign rights; and how to lead a happy, fulfilling life.
