The theme of the new relationship between creators and publishers I think is very important and also suggests different ideas. The new creators are looking not only for publishers who can align with their vision for their book, often choosing greater freedom offered by small publishers or self-publishing systems, but also sometimes publishers who can align with their identity and what they want to express. I think this aspect is very important: I have always thought that some smaller publishing houses could boldly experiment with a sort of management of authors not only as people who write under that "label", but as real contributors to the image of the publisher, who becomes not only who publishes, but a way of seeing things and seeing writing. This sometimes already shines through, but it is often more something linked to the topics of the books, when it could become a much more important asset if it were expanded in a more transversal way. Thanks Simon for sharing this.

Well done, Simon!
