Picador to Publish Literary Fiction in Hardcover and Paperback
In an effort to “save” the literary fiction genre, Picador UK is going to simultaneously release literary fiction in both hardcover and trade paperback because it believes that only a tiny number of authors have sufficient reader loyalty to support a hardcover release.
If more publishers do this, will there be a shift in value afforded trade paperbacks? I think that there is already some belief that books in the trade paperback format as better quality that those in the mass market format. The New York Times recently modified its bestseller lists to include a separate list for trades.

I would like information for submission of fictional work in progress. Star Over Askar was written by me under my publishing name of Jewel Mist. It is on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I am working on a novel set on the Rogue River in Oregon. It is a Romance/suspense genrue. The story is of a woman who inherites an historic ranch and must save it financially through an ardous horse race along the Rogue River to Gold Beach near the Pacific Ocean. Entwined in the story is the story of the people who established the ranch and the area. It is full of historical data of the area, and of the traditions of early river settlements.
Thank you for consideration,
