There's a new website in town - The Literary Hub, created by Grove Atlantic Publishing and book site Electric Literature, in partnership with hundreds of publishers, booksellers and magazines. The aim being to 'celebrate the vitality of bricks-and-mortar bookstores'.
The business model, explains editor Jonny Diamond. Diamond, is to exchange content for advertising on the site: “The very basic quid pro quo is an ad in exchange for a feature or excerpt... Our hope is that by creating a smart, engaging site devoted to literary culture, we’ll be able to catalyse the kinds of conversations about books that are good for the entire literary community.”
