51. New Publishing Forms/Tools
Trends uncovered by the Thin Reads - www.thinreads.com/
•Amazon’s “Kindle Single Interview” -
•Hip eyewear manufacturer Warby Parker -- first advertiser to support an e-book
single with its sponsorship of the nonfiction e-book single “Coronado High.”
•Magazine publishers got serious about e-book singles. Discover, Fast Company
and Philadelphia Magazine all published excellent e-book singles at the end of
the summer.
•Below the neck publishing got hot and heavy. There were several nonfiction e-
book singles published during the third quarter that focused on private body
parts. Kat George wrote about her vagina in “Pink Bits.” Nicci Leigh spotlighted
her breast issues in “Money Bags.” And January Nelson edited “Penis,” a
collection of essays about you-know-what.
•More publishers entered the e-book single market offering long-form journalism
and short stories to niche audiences.
51
52. The “So what?” Factor
•What are your motives for writing?
– Creative pleasure, message, to be published,
reach a wider audience, make money?
•Think about tools to satisfy your motivation
•If beyond “creative pleasure” –
– BYOP -- Hardcover, paperback, ebook, PDF,
audio
– Break MSS up into short chapters, i.e.
serialize
(sell subscriptions?)
