Mark reads from a 2000 word article he wrote when asked to discuss publishing trends for 2022.
Prior to the main content, Mark, using an AI voice double (Overdub) from Descript to speak the words he has typed, explains why he is using a voice double for the interstitial parts of the podcast, and also shares a word about this episode’s sponsor.

In a past podcast you’ve talked about getting books into libraries. Do you know where I can get a list of Canadian Libraries and their email addresses?
Thanks for all your wonderful work. I never miss an episode.

Great question, Connie.
There’s a link to a Canadian Director of Libraries (from CDN GOVT site) and other library/bookstore resources kept relatively up to date and modified every few months) here: http://markleslie.ca/authorsbookstoreslibraries/
Unfortunately, not many of them have all contact info easily exportable. I’ve often had to hunt through the links to each site and gather the contact info/email/address info manually.
And thanks so much for listening! Delighted that you enjoy the episodes!
Oh thank you so much Mark. This is greatly appreciated.

Of I forgot to send this link. It is Alberta Libraries and most of their email addresses. I can’t find similar lists for other provinces. https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/ma-alberta-public-library-directory.pdf
Thanks, Connie. Yeah, Alberta publishers and libraries seem to be (from my experience) a lot more progressive and open about sharing/collaboration) than other places.
