“We read and discuss and decide whether we think they would make a good fit,” Barash says of these unpublished books. If a manuscript is selected it is then sent to a number of publishers for consideration. If one decides to publish the book, PJ Library will make a commitment to buy it in bulk. “We’ve had very good results,” she says. “The majority of these do in fact get published.” And considering that the organization sends out more than 100,000 books each month to about 185 communities across the country and also in Australia, it’s not a surprise publishers pay attention to their recommendations.
