Life sucks, get a helmet.
In a Bookseller article Chris McVeigh of consultancy FourFiftyOne urged publishers to customise online content to improve visibility. “Some people leave this to temps – that’s insane”, he says, pointing out that a book may need a different cover or blurb online. “People say to me: ‘That sounds like a lot of work’. Well it is. Life sucks, get a helmet.”
