The Friday Project – Part Two

photo credit: roujo
I’ve written about The Friday Project before, over a year ago, and promised a sequel. Well, here it is.
Today’s headline news in The Bookseller screams: “The Friday Project up for sale”. You might well ask why this constitutes headline news, but we’ll pass on that for the moment. It continues:
“Pan Macmillan is believed to be the front-runner to acquire The Friday Project (TFP), which is currently in talks with several parties over a sale.”
Now, if I was selling a company, this is precisely the sort of headline publicity I’d love - no specifics about the company’s profitability or otherwise, the hint of other interested parties nosing around (better grab it quick!), nothing even slightly investigative or questioning. I hope whoever’s doing their corporate publicity is part of the deal - they’re good.
On this day…
