Grow Your Network: Craig Pearce Is A Publishing Gatekeeper Who Believes Books Are Humanity’s Greatest Invention

Do you know Craig Pearce? He’s a nonfiction publisher at Pan Macmillan/Harriman House (one of the “big five” publishing houses) who’s brought us Morgan Housel, Adam Mead, Ted Seides, and Richard Shotton’s “Choice Factory” – plus he handles 120+ book proposals per year but only publishes 25-30.

If not, allow me to introduce you. Craig has spent 17 years editing hundreds of books and has developed what he calls a “snooker instinct” for recognizing quality manuscripts that will resonate with readers. I wanted to connect with him because he embodies something I value deeply: the ability to spot exceptional storytelling while maintaining the pragmatic wisdom that publishing has fundamentally changed in the Amazon era.

Our conversation is LIVE now on the Just Press Record YouTube channel (and this Cultish Creative Playlist). Listen and you’ll hear Craig discuss everything from Alfred Wainwright’s stunning Lake District guides to why good leadership matters more than raw business success.
