Publisher Profile: Lobster Press
Stephanie Hindley, Director of Sales & Marketing for Lobster Press, was interviewed by RHYW. Her answer to the question "What technological changes are most affecting the children and YA publishing industries?" discusses both new opportunities and challenges: "There are a lot of opportunities out there, especially for children's publishers. In addition to the ebook market, which is affecting everyone, we are also working with different companies to develop and distribute animated and online audio versions of our books, and more. ReadHowYouWant provided us with an especially unique opportunity, not only to get alternative editions of our books distributed, but to deliver multiple formats directly to consumers, digitally. The biggest change for us is simply time management. We now need to make time to focus on these new markets, while still maintaining and growing our line of print books."
