SO WHAT COMES AFTER BOOKS?
OVER my 40+ years authoring, I’ve often pondered on what, if anything, comes after books. With bookstores declining and the remainder slanting to “used” (in the auto industry “previously owned”) books; publishing and publicity in COVID disarray; the rise of “anyone can be an author” self-publishing; and the much-tooted decline in readers (thought I wonder if “readership” might not be the better word), what comes after the printed, digital and audio book?
This question was raised in earnest about 4 years ago between Savant Books and Publications and K. Simmons Productions, the idea being that by changing the emphasis from content to communication, authors with a book publisher linked to a manga, animation and cinematic studio could see their works appearing in new channels that would appeal to the new audio-video viewer as well. Two years ago, that idea was cemented into a relationship and on 25 September 2021 at 7 p.m. the first book-to-movie product will air on Hawaii’s KHON2, KHII and CW television channels! An author with Savant Books and Publications now has SIX rather than three treatments to look forward to: printed book, eBook, audiobook, manga (comic book), animation and cinematic. It’s even more mainstreamed with Savant Books and Publications’ imprint, Aignos Publishing, which is now entirely focused on a new genre, the “screenplay-novel,” essentially a screenplay with additional narrative that will appeal directly to today’s more visual-action oriented readers/viewers.

Or how about expanding your author expertise to include producing, acting or filming? I did! And I’ve found acting and acting executive producing with K. Simmons Productions to be wonderful extensions of authoring, adding substantively to my authoring expertise (https://janik.yolasite.com/actor.php).
