A Tale of Two Publishing Houses - with Linda Martin
About
Join Fremantle Press publisher Georgia Richter in conversation with Linda Martin, author of the new book A Tale of Two Publishing Houses. Focusing on the establishment of Fremantle Press in the 1970s and 1980s, the tale is part history, part memoir and a love letter to the world of books.
From the daring spirit of two publishing trailblazers in the 1970s to the grit and heart it takes to launch a small press today, the book is a tale of vision, tenacity and the magic that happens when people believe in stories.
Georgia will ask Linda all about the process of writing this local history memoir and the experience of running a small independent publishing press in today’s publishing landscape.
