This is the subtitle of our new book RICH LAND, WASTELAND, which Exisle has jointly published with our good friends at Pan Macmillan. It was an unusual move for us to take and probably even more unusual for Pan Macmillan, but both publishing companies saw this project for what it was: a book that needs to be out there, that needs to have a voice. A book like this has the ability to change lives, … Read entire article »

It has been many years since I last attended the London Bookfair so I was excited about going this year. We now have a new UK distributor, Chris Lloyd Sales & Marketing Services, and I was going to be part of his stand at the fair. However, as we got closer to Easter and my departure date and Pen prepared all the info sheets, I had a strange feeling that something was not quite right. … Read entire article »

This week’s guest blogger is Carlie Harris, Exisle Australia’s publicist. When I tell people who don’t work under the sales/marketing/PR umbrella that a major part of my job is to write media releases they often scratch their heads and ask me, ‘What are they?’ I normally start off by telling them that a media release is a document that I email out to the media to alert them of a particular product/person/news story you would … Read entire article »

I think as a weekly blogger I am allowed to be a little self-indulgent! So today my blog is dedicated to my son, who tomorrow will turn 21.

I must admit I forget the days of the week — it’s been a ridiculously busy few weeks and I have sadly been away from home for far too long and far too often this year, so I am planning a very lazy Easter (although my crazy mother is coming to visit — she is great fun!). Last week I packed my old kit … Read entire article »

I have just realised that it has been quite a few weeks since I last blogged, but we have had some terrific guest bloggers and I hope you enjoyed them all! I certainly did! Well, no doubt you are all aware that we have not really had a summer in much of Australia. In fact, as I sit and write this I have on a big jumper and leggings and I am seriously contemplating putting on … Read entire article »

This week’s guest blogger is our newest team-member, Katie Oxford: Special Sales Coordinator, Excel spreadsheet compiler and green tea drinker! Outside of work, she is a second-year nursing student, girlfriend (and therefore housekeeper) and avid cook … among other things. Working at Exisle really allows me to surround myself with the things I love: books, nutrition and a great view of the countryside. I was brought up a book lover, heavily influenced by my aunt who worked … Read entire article »
