The Book Depository: What are the principal challenges/opportunities you see at the moment in the business of publishing books?

New World Library: 1) Creating community with the consumers of our content.

2) As our core audience steadily ages, we need to create more books and CDs that attract younger people.

3) We are always challenged to support our authors as much as we can to reach as many people as possible with their messages.

The Book Depository: What brings you to the decision to publish a particular title/author?

New World Library: 1) The book has to fit within the parameters of our publishing program and our company's mission.

2) We have to be passionate about the project.

3) Much of it is purely intuitive: If any of our editors really love a project, and if our marketing people feel they can do something with it, it's a go.
