This week on the “Your Book Is Your Hook!” Show, Dominique Raccah, the publisher of Sourcebooks and the co-chair of the Book Industry Study Group will talk with radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov about how she started her publishing company, Sourcebooks, now the largest book publishing company in Chicago, and the approach she takes with authors to publish and support their projects.
Raccah will discuss her perspective of the future of the book publishing industry, her outlook on the impact of digital publishing and important advice for authors when crafting and writing their books.
She will also inform listeners about the Book Industry Study Group, its efforts to navigate the industry changes that are affecting the supply chain and the constant challenge that publishers face in getting the right book at the right time into the right consumer’s hands for them to read and enjoy.
Ken Corday, the executive producer of NBC’s long-running, popular daytime drama, Days of Our Lives, will also discuss his memoir entitled, The Days Of Our Lives: The True Story of One Family’s Dream and The Untold History of “Days of Our Lives,” with radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov during the show. He will reveal the humble beginnings of Days of Our Lives and his own experience with coming onto the show as a teenager, first as a composer before joining the ranks of the producers.
Corday will talk about why he wrote the memoir now, how he got published and why he chose Sourcebooks to publish the book. He will also share a few favorite memories from working on the show and how he is using his book as his hook.
