Autorenporträt
Herbert George Jenkins was a British author who lived from 1876 to 1923 and owned the publishing company Herbert Jenkins Ltd., which put out many of P. G. Wodehouse's books. Jenkins' parents were from Norfolk, and his death notice in The Times says he went to Greyfriars College for school. In the beginning, he worked as a reporter. After that, he worked at The Bodley Head for 11 years before starting his own printing house in 1912. He never got married and died in Marylebone, London, on June 8, 1923, after being sick for six months. He was 47 years old. Jenkins opened his own publishing business, Herbert Jenkins Limited, in 1912. With five floors, the building was small and from the 1800s. Its offices were on Duke of York Street, which is just off of Jermyn Street in London. It was a hit from the start because Jenkins had the unique skill (at the time) of being able to adapt to changing public tastes. He also had a good eye for new writers and wasn't put off by manuscripts that had been turned down by other companies. His creative ways of getting the word out about his books included eye-catching ads and dust jackets, as well as a monthly magazine called Wireless that his fans shared widely.
