Publishing undergoing ‘seismic’ changes

My Take-Away?

***

“Both pieces of news disprove the outdated notion that a traditional publishing contract is necessary if an author wants to achieve chart-topping PRINT sales, or to see their print book sold on Walmart shelves.

Old print distribution barriers are starting to crumble, just as they already have for digital.

We can’t help but wonder what the next 18 months will bring.

The only thing that we’re certain of is that the publishing industry is far from stabilizing. From here forward, the rapid pace of change will only accelerate.”

KEEP WRITING. KEEP PUBLISHING. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Have a great day.
