PUBLISHING
“One gets an enormous number of manuscripts and 90 per cent of them are hopeless. Probably more than 90 per cent.- Five per cent are incredibly bad. Unless you’re a publisher you have ho idea how badly people write and how extraordinary it is that they think that someone might publish them. And they’re frightfully boring too. It’s very exciting if you care for literature or for thought or history, suddenly out of the blue to get something which you think extremely good; That makes publishing exciting.” Leonard Woolf who with his wife, the novelist Virginia Woolf, founded the Hogarth Press, speaking in a 8.8. C. broadcast.
