About this episode

Mark and Jaye discuss the role of Julie Burland and Penguin Random House Australia in nurturing Australian stories and the challenges of the publishing industry.

Mark and Jaye learn about Julie Burland's original story, how PRH Australia sits within the multi-national organisation, how Australian stories are nurtured within this structure and why she thinks independent bookshops are key. We also discuss fixed book pricing and that very particular headache of our industry, returns.
