1920s publishing
The 1920s was a vibrant era for publishing, marked by increased literacy and a surge in literary and artistic expression. Advances in printing technology lowered costs, making books, magazines, and newspapers more accessible to the public. This period saw the rise of influential authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, and a flourishing of magazines that shared new ideas and cultural trends. The decade also experienced a boom in popular fiction, jazz age literature, and modernist experimentation, shaping modern publishing's focus on both artistic innovation and mass-market appeal.
