John Sargent Critiques Wylie Amazon Deal

John Sargent, CEO of Macmillan has responded negatively to news of the Wylie Agency’s exclusive partnership with Amazon. He stated in a blog post:

“I am appalled, however, that Andrew has chosen to give his list exclusively to a single retailer. A basic tenet of publishing is that our function is to reach as many readers as we can. We disseminate our books and the ideas within them as broadly as possible.

I understand why Amazon wants an exclusive deal with Andrew.
