Thinking Beyond the Book: The Future of Publishing

Sprint Beyond the Book: our team workspace at Frankfurt Book Fair 2013

This past week, I was in Frankfurt, Germany, as part of a team of writers, academics, and technologists, to collaborate on a multimedia book on the future of publishing.

I’ve written a series of dispatches about the experience at the VQR blog:

72 Hours on the Future of Publishing: Day 1
72 Hours on the Future of Publishing: Day 2
72 Hours on the Future of Publishing: Day 3

Here are links to all of my contributions to the future-of-publishing book:

Why I’m Here
The Blurring Line Between Reader and Writer
The Importance of Metadata in Book Discoverability
The Atomization of Publishing
The Future of Editing: Beta Readers and Agile Publishing
Book as Fluke: A Thought Experiment
The Idea of the Author Is Facing Extinction

If you have thoughts on the future of the book, you can contribute them at the website, Sprint Beyond the Book.
