Five Publishing Personas - Preamble
Over the next five days, I’m going to share my breakdown of the five key personas I see in modern publishing. While you’ll find each of these personas familiar, their individual motivation, time-horizion and focus is unique.
Through a series of Google+ posts, you’ll get a contrast of these attributes across all five personas. It may help you understand where you fit or where you want to fit.
Why serialize it? Because it’s about 2,000 words long, and that makes for a pretty hefty post. Plus, I want to play around with this platform a little more, as I think I have a novel way to keep it well organized even for those who come through at mid-point. At least that’s the theory.
It all starts tomorrow morning, where I’ll take on the first of two author personas. After those, I’ll dig into the minds of the “enablers” of the industry, if you will.
My goal is to post around 7:00 a.m. MT (14:30 GMT) but I’m not going to be a slave to that. If you don’t want to miss it, turn on your notifications for me. I’m not a high-volume poster, so you won’t have to deal with random chatter from me. At least not too much.
