Canadian Authors Get Macintosh Computers For Writing
Fifty authors led by Farley Mowat, Margaret Atwood, Margaret Laurence, Scott Young and Leonard Cohen will receive Apple Macintosh 512K systems plus printers from Mc Clelland and Stewart in a $500,000 deal to speed manuscript submission and editing. Ten units stay at the office for editors. The move aims to reduce the six to eight month publication gap and return the company to profit or break even.
