consequence of the behavior consequences gentle mode a certain amount of time after you stop writing a box will pop up gently reminding you to continue writing normal mode if you persistently avoid

heads up harpercollins responds 17 january 2009 in authors general publishing tags authonomy authors getting published harpercollins lulu com pod 5 comments overnight authonomy site administrators posted a response to the criticism on the forum this will be another free feature of the site it certainly isn t about exploitation it won t be compulsory it is part of the authonomy toolkit like forums messaging rss feeds watchlists etc we won t be forcing anyone to use these features but if you want to then they ll be there for you read the whole post here my initial thought is that if harpercollins really are introducing the pod option simply as another feature of the site which adds value for its members why bother to go to the expense and effort of building your own solution why not simply partner with an existing service such as lulu com which is bound to be more efficient and less costly is authonomy authentic 16 january 2009 in authors general publishing social media writing tags authonomy authors harpercollins manuscripts pod publishing slush pile social media 17 comments bren macdibble alerted me on facebook to some grumblings about harpercollins authonomy site authonomy participant alexander mcnabb fought his way to a top 5 ranking on the site spurred on by the promise that each month harpercollins would read the top 5 ranked manuscripts what he got was not what he expected but the hc review of my book next to the gold star on the book page was slapdash and odd and many other writers who d got to the top of the greasy pole as some called it got the same feeling now over 25 chart topping reviews five months into the exercise hc has not asked for one full read from a writer whose book reached the top let alone taken anything further to any degree yesterday hc sent me a note offering me the chance to put my books up as pod print on demand or publish on demand books on authonomy soon according to the email all books on authonomy will be available as pod books but for now only a few early adopters have been offered the opportunity and a gift of the first 10 books free for those who ve not discovered it yet authonomy is harpercollins uk s social networking experiment for authors authors can upload all or part of their manuscripts to an online community the best ranked submissions based on the community s votes are read by harpercollins editors members also have chance to converse and swap critical feedback i m not a member of authonomy and am certainly not in a position to judge whether alexander s account is accurate but regardless of whether hc editors are reading full manuscripts or not the move toward pod sales of members books is disquieting my best friend s favourite adage is it s all about managing expectations harpercollins have clearly encouraged certain expectations among aspiring authors flocking to the site authonomy s tag line is beat the slush which holds out to authors the promise of catching the attention of publishers who are seeking fresh new talent in the original media release that accompanied the announcement of authonomy harpercollins stated for aspiring authors the site is both a new route to publication with a leading publishing house and a genuine base from which to build a long term following online authonomy also reinforced this expectation on the site itself both in the faqs and in its own harpercollins response thread on the forum we thought this would be obvious but perhaps we need to spell this one out our editors _do_ browse the site looking for manuscripts that meet their requirements and if we like something we follow up directly to pre empt the sceptical who seem to doubt everything we say yes we re in dialogue with a number of authors from authonomy harpercollins have at no point promised any author any outcome at all other than to read the most popular content posted to the site but all of these messages create a very strong expectation that authonomy was set up as a pathway to publication for aspiring authors if it s true harpercollins will now be offering members the opportunity to sell their work to the community via print on demand presumably for a fee or by ceding some rights and sales revenue members would be justified in feeling their expectations have been betrayed many authonomy members have posted their own reactions on the site s forums here are a few authonomy has moved from potentially innovative to concretely exploitative richard p s slow moving slush pile is one thing but captive market and preying on our desires to be published is another thing it s just cruel lulu already exists and at least you know what you re doing when you sign in there macdibble if i wanted to pod i d have gone as i think diane said to lulu by now i don t i thought that no was led to believe that authonomy was a genuine effort to create a peer reviewed community based filter for publishable writing and by publishable i don t mean pod alexander i will emphasise not all responses from authonomy users on the forums are negative ones for balance i recommend you read through the threads yourself to assess what the reaction has been but to me it appears the majority of users at least those bothering to voice their thoughts on the forum are feeling misled at the heart of this anger and disquiet in the authonomy membership is harpercollins failure to understand online communities authonomy has all the trendy social networking bells and whistles it s got well trafficked discussion boards and user generated content but social networking platforms at their most vibrant cede control to the community they don t in fact can t hoard it for the platform developer which is why facebook is having trouble monetising itself authonomy users came to the site because of an expectation they were sold by harpercollins having built up a successful community those users don t now wish to be told by harpercollins to do or be something else especially when it s transparently about making money for harpercollins or as put by an authonomy member hidden agenda how about a rollout plan that hasn t been shared an intent to create a site in phases without sharing with or consulting the people that populate that site how about misrepresenting the site to those people as you do your rollout what does that make you alexander i wonder what harpercollins answer will be itouch for ebooks 15 january 2009 in general mobile content tags books e reader ebooks itouch 5 comments just a quick fillip

read along sing along with nick cave 14 january 2009 in digital content e books publishing tags canongate e books jamie byng nick cave publishing 3 comments via booksquare scottish publisher canongate has announced it will digitise its entire back catalogue and make 450 titles available as e book downloads by the end of this year one of their more interesting digital projects is a simultaneous physical and e book release of nick cave s first novel in 20 years with added extras such as a soundtrack and unabridged audio book narration by cave canongate has gone from strength to strength since jamie byng rescued it from near bankruptcy in the mid 90s it has acquired some big titles in the last few years including uk and commonwealth rigths to the obama memoirs but for me this nick cave project is the most exciting recent news it perfectly exploits cave s multiple talents and reaches out to several audiences simultaneously with the possibility of introducing new consumers from each to cave s various music recordings and novels not to mention his poetry and films in many ways nick cave is the perfect example of an artist in a position to commercialise digital content for modern audiences a renaissance man for the 21st century he produces content across a range of media and artforms he has an established and loyal fan base he can derive additional revenus streams from touring and merchandise opportunities and he can cross pollinate audiences from books to music to film kudos to jamie byng and canongate for a well considered digital product we re doing some really cool stuff that will turn some heads and break ground in the area of e books said jamie byng the managing director we are using the medium not just replicating content that s where the real opportunities lie jamie byng quoted in sunday herald article time for a poetry publishers co op 13 january 2009 in business models publishing 5 comments graham nunn at another lost shark has been doing a fascinating series of interviews with various australian small press poetry publishers there s an interesting array of opinions here some consensus but also a lot of divergence on issues such as the value of electronic publishing and the commercial opportunities for small presses small presses have arisen in response to the decline in interest by the corporate publishers to meet the need for poets voices to be heard and read i doubt if any of them actually make money out publishing but that s not the point of it though it would be nice lyn reeves pardalote press i was interested that more poetry publishers such as john knight at post pressed are not turning to print on demand to help with the economics of small print runs i ve also been wondering for a while if australian poetry as a genre is ripe for a cooperative marketing distribution arrangement between small publishers this worked particularly well in the independent music scene in the last 10 years ralph wessman in his interview suggests that the small press underground collective spunc is not focused on assisting with distribution yet distribution is the key problem to solve of all creative industries i could imagine a successful collective that pools its resources to promote and sell for best results online and probably pod poetry in all forms chap books full collections cds digital downloads and merchandise and yes marketing is an issue you d have to work hard to drive an audience to such a site but i imagine that would be a lot easier to do working collectively as part of a co op than for a small press and or their poets to do on their own alphabet soup 11 jan 09 11 january 2009 in general tags kate eltham martyn daniels publishing richard nash self publishing wine winnie the pooh writing 2 comments i ve been too busy with clarion south to be able to write longer posts so here s a round up of a few interesting tidbits i ve seen around the interwebs lately winnie the pooh to the rescue apparently a pooh sequel is in development personanondata quotes a times article michael brown for the trustees who manage the affairs of a a milne and e h shepard said that he had been hoping to give the green light to a sequel for a very long time this intrigues me since i was fairly sure a a milne s works entered the public domain in 2007 self publishing continues to grow martyn daniels over at brave new world comments on the continued rise of self publishing as an option for authors finding it hard to be published it may be cheaper and easier than ever before but watching my members experiences with pod and self publishing at qwc it seems the only ones making money out of it so far are the service companies daniels mentions like authors solutions canadian wine meet canadian content mark at index mb has a nifty marketing idea pair canadian books authors with canadian wines mark australian coriole wines did a brilliant promotion using exactly this idea a few years ago with adelaide poets poetry and poet bios on the labels attractive limited edition half cases with royalties to the poets and even poets in the vineyard events with readings and music i hope canadian wineries can follow the example do publishers still dream of electric books brian joseph davis guest blogging at the globe and mail has a short sweet with soft skull s richard nash about the state of publishing there are two fixed points in the cultural economy of books the writer and the reader everything in between is up for grabs and everything in between will need to earn its piece of the action by providing valuable services to writers and readers publishers especially have shown little regard for readers and most will need a radical change in culture in order to create a strong enough service culture so folks in a 2019 publishing office will be connecting writers and readers with passion elan humility and respect or not at all living in the age of metaphor 9 january 2009 in general tags digital fans kevin kelly metaphor realism star trek the technium 7 comments kevin kelly has a fascinating piece on the technium about the ways we create and interact with things as if they are real propelling metaphor towards reality in this way the role and power of metaphor is rising in our culture our modern digital world is a metaphoric world we make things real by first constructing them as a metaphor an as if type then we slowly deepen the metaphor adding more layers of meaning and realism until metaphor slowly passes whatever invisible barrier lies between the real and fake and it becomes is it becomes real pinocchio is at last a real boy earning the love of his mother this got me thinking about some of the more energetic efforts of fan communities for example recreating star trek sets costumes and even producing fan television series the ease of distributing this as if content online attracts love and attention by fans of the fans so star trek fans who re create their favourite television series in effect become a favourite television series of other audiences the metaphor becomes real contact kate eltham kate eltham at gmail com subscribe to the blog
