Cut out
How ‘disintermediation’ threatens
the future of publishing
Michael Bhaskar 20.06.2012
EBOOKS ≠ DISRUPTION
- Hyperlinked
- Interactive
- Short and vernacular
BUT the digital network is the
biggest issue
Distribution – Intellectual Property
and Copyright – Business Models
DISINTERMEDIATION
1. Retailer channels
2. Artists Direct
3. New players in the supply chain
'Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going
away. Because the word “publishing” means
a cadre of professionals who are taking on
the incredible difficulty and complexity and
expense of making something public. That’s
not a job anymore. That’s a button. There’s a
button that says “publish,” and when you
press it, it’s done.' Clay Shirky
PARTIAL DISINTERMEDIATION
A halfway house seen in the music
industry also applies to publishing
Creates questions around licencing
models and the treat of piracy
80-90%?
INNOVATION IS HAPPENING
The future of
publishing…hangs in
the balance
But the future of reading, writing and books…is probably fine!

Cut Out: Publishing in the future

Editor's Notes

  1. Ebooks work through closed systems built around a unit sales model – Production/Editorial/Sales/Marketing/Business model are the same. Just a file not a book.
  2. Content is changing though
  3. See also – E.L. James, Kerry Wilkinson, Joe Konrath, Amazon publishing efforts, self publishing from Kobo and other start ups. Domino project Seth Godin.
  4. Also Subutai Corporation. Potential is there.
  5. Literary agents – new web only publishers – other media organisations or institutions turning to publishing
  6. Blogs 2002 = ‘Mass amateurisation of publishing’
  7. Examples – in music Dizzee Rascal and Radiohead set up their own labels – but still went with record labels. Amanda Hocking signed a book deal. Subutai went with Amazon. Curtis Brown, agents, partnered with Macmillan to form Bello.
  8. Ebooks and digital publishing in the UK
  9. iBooks and Kobo – hopes for Google, Sony and a host of other players. Aggregators and subscriptions coming in. Kindle charts are the most important commercial consideration.
  10. Games and new business models in that
