Interview: Alan Hollinghurst

 

The explicit voice of British gay literature has softened, writes CATHERINE KEENAN. When Alan Hollinghurst finished his fourth book, The Line of Beauty, he had a sense he'd brought something to a close. That novel started at the point where his first novel, The Swimming-Pool Library, had ended: in the summer of 1983, a period of gilded freedom, as his protagonist, William Beckwith, was cutting an explicitly rendered swathe through gay London.

A Warning About PD Publishing

 

 

Article on PD Publishing: a lesson for all writers

By Anne Brooke

I agreed to sign a 10-year contract with PD Publishing (www.pdpublishing.com) in 2008 for my crime novel, Maloney’s Law. During the last couple of years, I regularly asked them when an ebook version would be available, as readers, and indeed other publishers interested in the e-rights, had queried that with me. The response from PD was both very slow and unsatisfactory and so earlier this year I took the decision to extricate myself early from the contract. Maloney’s Law was given a $200 advance in 2008, it gained no royalties in 2009 as PD Publishing clawed back the advance and then apparently made $160 in 2010, although I have never received any statement to that effect.
