The UK's Booker Prize Announces California's Crankstart as Its New Anchor Sponsor - Publishing Perspectives

Times are changing.
Today as Panzer was enjoying a leisurely trip around the Catosphere, he decided to stop in at the Publishing Perspectives site. There he found a post about the Booker Prize.

According to Publishing Perspectives Editor-in-Chief Porter Anderson, the Man Prize has found a new anchor sponsor. The California-based Crankstart has stepped in as sponsor. Panzer told you in January about the Man Group withdrawing as a sponsor of the Man Booker Prize. Crankstart will not put their name on the prize as the Man Group did. Anticipating a possible little brouhaha about an American (USA) anchor sponsor, the Booker Prize Foundation issued several statements about Crankstart Foundation's charitable contributions to various colleges, universities and programs. Links to other posts for information about the Booker Prize are included in the post.

Panzer says, "This little kitty was wondering who would step in to replace the Man Group and it didn't take long before Crankstart did."

Note: This is a h-u-g-e post. Bring a gallon of cocoa and two dozen chocolate chip cookies (biscuits) for today's reading selection.
