THE 50 LEAST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN PUBLISHING (CONTINUED)
Our call for nominations to determine the 50 Least Influential People in Publishing has attracted a fair bit of attention. Inevitably, many people have nominated themselves. Please keep your nominations coming. We're looking for the names of very talented writers, publishers, literary critics, journalists and bloggers who are currently neglected by mainstream publishing. HP Tinker is the prime example: a brilliant young writer who has been on the verge of breaking through for the past five years or so, but hasn't quite made it. Anyway, here is the longlist in its present, gloriously incomplete state (I haven't included people like Irvine Welsh who are clearly far too famous):
Akashic Books (publishers, Johnny and Johanna, USA)
