Burnet Media 2012: An Update
2011 was a great year for us, with two titles in particular performing well beyond our expectations. 50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa and The Racist’s Guide to South Africa had their best-ever sales weeks this Christmas – more than a year after publication – and started the first week of 2012 in Neilsen’s SA top 10 list. As of this week, 50 People has been in the top 50 for an unbroken 52 weeks.
A hearty congratulations must go to authors Alexander Parker and Simon Kilpatrick, as next week sees the printing of the 40,000th and 30,000th copy of their respective titles. With upcoming projects that include companion books for both titles and a one-man stage show for The Racist’s Guide, there’s loads more coming from these two to look forward to.
Congratulations must also go to our latest authors:
Peter Church – Bitter Pill
Joanne Hitchens – Divine Justice
David Bullard – Out To Lunch Ungagged
Neil Manthorp – The Proteas: 20 Years, 20 Landmark Matches
Here’s hoping their books sell equally well in 2012, a year that will see the migration of major and new Burnet Media titles to digital formats, as well as new and exciting book launches.
