Dymocks unveils publishing plans, Collins says idea makes sense but will wait and see

Colllins Booksellers says the idea of going into publishing has merit but it has no immediate plans to follow rival bookseller Dymocks into the business.

Dymocks, which along with Collins boosted market share following the collapse of book giant REDgroup Retail in early 2011, has announced it will launch a web-based publishing arm called D Publishing next month.

Under the plans, authors will upload their work to D Publishing and that work will then be available for purchase online.
