“Blook” publisher to be liquidated

The vultures circle as publishing house “The Friday Project” moves toward liquidation.

The wrangle for the bones of failed “blook” publisher The Friday Project heated up this morning, with Random House joining HarperCollins in talks to buy the company’s list before it goes into liquidation.

Founded in 2005, The Friday Project (TFP) won much publicity for its exclusive focus on publishing material that started life in the blogosphere. Successful titles have included Blood, Sweat and Tea: Real-Life Adventures in an Inner-City Ambulance by Tom Reynolds, and In Stitches: The Highs and Lows of an A&E Doctor by Dr Nick Edwards.
