Jamie Broadhurst

Jamie Broadhurst has spent more than 20 years working across the publishing industry, from bookselling to distribution to marketing.

Before you meet him at VIPC, here are a few things to know: (I will tag all the name drops)

• He is the VP of Marketing at Raincoast Books
• His career has included roles at Macmillan Canada, John Wiley & Sons, and Douglas & MacIntyre
• He taught in Simon Fraser University’s Publishing Program for 15 years as an Adjunct and Visiting Professor
• He currently serves as a director of the Vancouver Public Library Foundation

What we’re excited to ask Jamie:

• How important are pre-orders in building momentum for a book?
• What role does distribution play in a book’s success?
• Can marketing create a bestseller, or does the book itself need to drive demand?

Join Jamie for our From Book to Bestseller session at VIPC this year.
