In E-Book War, the Independent Publishers Strike Back | mediaIDEAS - 0 views

  • the nine independent publishers who finally took a stand: Abrams Books, Chronicle Books, Grove/Atlantic Inc. Chicago Review Press, Inc, New Directions Publishing Corp., W.W. Norton & Company, Perseus Books Group (where I work), the Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, and Workman Publishing.
  • the independent publishers asserted that, “in aggregate, according to market data published by Nielsen BookScan the independents accounted for approximately 49 percent of total trade book sales nationwide in 2011.” A significant portion of those sales were through Amazon, which is why their decision to challenge the settlement and incur the possible wrath of this retailing giant is cou rageous.
  • If the agency model is effectively banned, Amazon will have the ability to price whole categories of e-books below cost in a way that is likely to drive out competition from other less deep-pocketed booksellers as well as brick and mortar booksellers.

  • By effectively banning the agency model for the settling publishers, the proposed settlements would harm rather than enhance competition–enabling one large retailer (Amazon) to regain a monopoly or near monopoly position through below-cost pricing.

Ten ways self-publishing has changed the books world - 0 views

  • The industry has long suffered the irony that effective publishing is most evident when invisible; it is only when standards are less than felicitous that we realise how well what we read is managed most of the time.
  • Gone is our confidence that publishers and agents know exactly what everyone wants to (or should) read
  • The copy editor, a traditionally marginalised figure, is now in strong demand.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Now, as authors meet their readers at literary festivals, run blogs or tweet, they know their readers well and are no longer solely reliant on their publishers to mediate relationships.
  • Now that so many self-publishing authors are finding the market themselves, agents need to find new ways to make their work pay. If agencies are multi-faceted (film, television, after-dinner speaking) they may be protected, but smaller agencies will struggle.
  • The role of the agent is also changing.
  • New writing patterns are developing too: team writing; ghost writing; software to assist the crafting.
  • Self-publishing brings happiness.

  • Mr. Mamet is taking advantage of a new service being offered by his literary agency, ICM Partners, as a way to assume more control over the way his book is promoted.

      Interesting direction for an agency to take. Is this the future for literary agents? Will they simply become self-publishing services? Will they maintain their role as gatekeepers or will they open up their services to everyone?
  • New Publisher Authors Trust: Themselves
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • ICM, which will announce its new self-publishing service on Wednesday, is one of the biggest and most powerful agencies to offer the option. But others are doing the same as they seek to provide additional value to their writers while also extending their reach in the industry.

  • They treat it like a small business
  • the big publishers focused mostly on blockbuster books and fell short on other titles — by publishing too few copies, for instance, or limiting advertising to only a short period after a book was released.
  • If an author self-publishes, what, then, is the role of a literary agency?

Long Odds for Authors Newly Published - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • But if the book is as good as critics are now saying it is, why didn’t it sell more copies before, especially since the rise of online publishing has supposedly made it easier than ever for first-time authors?
  • Given how difficult it is for first-time fiction authors, especially in a crowded genre like mystery, to find both an agent and publisher, it’s not clear “The Cuckoo’s Calling” would have made it off the slush piles.
  • An editor there told The Telegraph in London that the book “didn’t stand out.”

  • a publishing contract is hardly a guarantee of critical or commercial success.
  • Mr. Entrekin cited “Matterhorn,” by first-time novelist Karl Marlantes, which he published in 2010. The author “worked on the book for over 20 years and couldn’t find a publisher,” Mr. Entrekin said. Then, as the book was about to be published in a tiny first edition, Mr. Entrekin got a copy from a buyer at Barnes & Noble, loved it, and bought out the first printing.

GigaOm's Michael Wolf Launches Digital Publisher BSTSLLR | paidContent - 0 views

  • Book publishers have long attested that short story collections don’t sell; Wolf would respond they’re not trying hard enough. “Traditional publishers don’t do a lot of marketing for the midlist authors today,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s that they’re too busy trying to survive or they don’t have the budget.”
  • “I’m organizing and coordinating all the different authors and having them all communicate to their specific niches and audiences. I’m driving them to a common landing page and we created a book blog. We’re leveraging social media and talking to the press.”
  • it’s true that, with limited marketing budgets, publishers often have to focus on the big titles, and smaller authors must pick up a lot of the marketing work themselves for a shot at success.

  • Kevin Kelly’s “1,000 true fans” principle, the idea that an artist needs 1,000 true fans, “who will purchase anything and everything you produce,” to succeed.
  • that principle can be multiplied for a short story collection. “If you take a collection of mid-list fiction authors and put them together, you potentially have a culmination” of their thousand true fans, he said.
    • whoelscher
       
      Very true. It worked for the "Machine of Death" anthology, which was written by largely unknown authors.
  • This is the democratization of publishing, Wolf says.
    • whoelscher
       
      This is an over-used and grossly inaccurate term for what's happening in the industry. Democracy in publishing would spell disaster for all parties involved. There will also be a need for curators of content. So I think it might be more akin to a republic.

Anne R. Allen's Blog: Indie or Traditional Publishing? Don't Take Sides: Take Your Time - 1 views

  • “The biggest challenge [to authors today] is self-restraint. Publishing tools, like Smashwords make it fast, free and easy for any writer anywhere in the world to publish. But we don’t make it easy to write a great book. Many writers, intoxicated by the freedom to self-publish, will often release their book before it’s ready.”

How publishers gave Amazon a stick to beat them with - Tech News and Analysis - 0 views

  • A big part of that control stems from Amazon’s ownership of the Kindle, the leading e-book reader, and that books bought for the device have DRM built in. Stross argues that this effectively locks many e-book buyers into the device, since it’s virtually impossible to read Kindle books on other devices
  • Publishers — and some authors, especially those who control the Authors Guild, which has fought every attempt by Google and others to open up the book market — have been so obsessed with piracy and locking down their products that they have allowed Amazon to take control of their fate
  • even if you take advantage of Amazon’s self-publishing options to avoid having to get a traditional publishing deal, you’ve really just exchanged one corporate overlord for another.
