Chapter Forty-Seven
PUB DAILY
FROM NEARLY FOLDING TO FLOURISHING: HOW AN INDIE PUBLISHER SAVED THE DAY AND SOLVED A MURDER
It’s a story only a literary luminary could tell, from rags to riches to rags and back again as darling Pacific Northwest publisher Simon Says once more finds itself making the headlines—this time for a good cause.
After nearly a year of reports that the troubled publisher was facing an imminent shutdown due to poor management and declining sales, they recently announced a highly profitable infusion of venture capitalist funding to the tune of twenty million dollars.
The announcement came on the heels of a buzzy new title joining their summer list from one of their very own employees—marketing director Juliette Winters.
Astute readers might remember Winters as the woman who apprehended the murderer responsible for killing both Warren Ellingham and his son, Bradley Ellingham.
Winters is stepping out of the publishing office and picking up the pen to write her own tell-all memoir of how she caught a murderer so fiendishly clever that even the police had given up.
A perfect read for true crime lovers, country club enthusiasts, and those of us who simply love to watch rich people behaving badly.
Teaser chapters released on the heels of her Good Morning America interview have already racked up an impressive two million downloads, and the book promises to be the summer read.
There’s currently a Hollywood bidding war for movie rights and a rumor that it will be the next pick for Reese’s Book Club.
