How Libraries Can Launch Community Publishing Initiatives with Self-Published...Smashwords, Inc.
Libraries have long provided an essential community service by making books and other information products freely available and accessible to local community patrons. Libraries play a critical role in promoting literacy, a culture of books and the joys of reading.
With the rise of ebooks, public libraries are at a crossroads. Some large traditional publishers, which fear digital lending might cannibalize retail sales of both print books and ebooks, have been hesitant to supply ebooks to libraries at the very time that library patrons are clamoring for access to such products.
This three-part presentation outlines the opportunity for libraries to expand their community role by developing programs that promote a culture of authorship. By holding seminars and classes, and by bringing local authors together with readers and aspiring authors, Libraries are uniquely qualified to orchestrate community resources and talent to help local writers become professional self-publishers. Unlike traditional publishers, self-published authors are pro-library. By developing community publishing initiatives that promote best-practices for professional self-publishing, libraries will help ensure a steady and diverse supply of high-quality books for library patrons and readers worldwide.
This series of three presentations was delivered by Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, on March 21, 2013 at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services symposium held in Lansing, Michigan.The presentations have been combined here for ease of access.

This document provides definitions and descriptions of different genres of fiction and non-fiction literature for 3rd grade reading levels. It outlines the key characteristics of realistic fiction, biography, mystery, poetry, informational texts, science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. It also provides guidance on how students can choose books using a "five finger test" where they put a finger down for every unfamiliar word to assess readability.
There are many genres or categories of literature including fiction and non-fiction. Some common fiction genres are realistic fiction, historical fiction, folklore, fairy tales, fantasy, mystery, and science fiction. Realistic fiction tells stories that could really happen, historical fiction takes place in the past, and fairy tales involve magic and good triumphing over evil. Common non-fiction genres include informational books which provide facts, and biographies which tell the true stories of people's lives.
There are two main categories of books: fiction and non-fiction. Fiction includes genres like fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, and science fiction which tell imaginary stories, while non-fiction contains true facts. Some common fiction genres are fantasy, which may include magical elements; historical fiction, which focuses on past time periods; mystery, which involves a crime and clues; and science fiction, set in the future or alternative worlds.
This document provides an overview of different literary genres including fiction, fantasy, romance, adventure, crime fiction, horror, science fiction, mystery, historical fiction, realistic fiction, and traditional literature. It discusses key elements and conventions of each genre such as settings, characters, plots, and themes. Examples of texts from various genres are also given. The document is intended to help classify literature and provide guidance on the characteristics of different genres.
Readers' advisory services aim to match patrons with books they will enjoy reading for pleasure. While once focused on directing patrons only towards "better" books, readers' advisory now emphasizes recreational reading and respecting individual tastes. Librarians can provide advisory assistance using both print and electronic resources, and their skills are valuable for attracting patrons and supporting the library.
Readers' advisory services aim to match patrons with books they will enjoy reading for pleasure. This library service helps patrons select recreational reading materials. It has evolved from a prescriptive model in the early 20th century focused on "better books" to a more patron-oriented approach that values fiction reading. Readers' advisory librarians now use various print and electronic resources, as well as their own reading knowledge, to suggest titles to patrons based on books they have enjoyed previously. The goal is to foster enjoyment of reading and support for the library.

Reader's advisory services involve librarians suggesting fiction and nonfiction titles to patrons based on their interests. This helps patrons find books to read for pleasure. While readers' advisory has been around since the 1920s, it reemerged as a focus over the past 20 years. Librarians now take a less didactic approach, seeing recreational reading as worthwhile. Direct readers' advisory focuses on a reader's likes and dislikes, while indirect involves pre-made booklists. Libraries provide various tools, both print and electronic, to help librarians match patrons to titles. Mastering readers' advisory requires being an avid reader oneself and ongoing learning.

How Data-Driven Decisions *Might* Help Indie Ebook Authors Reach More ReadersSmashwords, Inc.
This presentation was given at the RT Booklovers convention in Chicago April 11, 2012. It analyzes a nine-month chunk of Smashwords sales data, aggregated across multiple Smashwords retailers (Apple iBookstore, Sony, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Diesel, Smashwords.com), to determine if there were potential data-driven metrics that might reveal new viral catalysts that authors can put to work to make their books more available, discoverable and enjoyable to readers. By utilizing the right mix of viral catalysts, authors can maximize reader reader word-of-mouth. Some of the findings are eye-opening, and some are simply just fun.

The Power of Invention
“To us, the value of Amazon Web Services is undeniable – in twenty seconds, we can double our server
capacity. In a high-growth environment like ours and with a small team of developers, it’s very important for us
to trust that we have the best support to give to the music community around the world. Five years ago, we would
have crashed and been down without knowing when we would be back. Now, because of Amazon’s continued
innovation, we can provide the best technology and continue to grow.” That’s Christopher Tholen, the Chief
Technology Officer of BandPage. His comments about how AWS helps with the critical need to scale compute
capacity quickly and reliably are not hypothetical: BandPage now helps 500,000 bands and artists connect with
tens of millions of fans.
“So, I started selling on Amazon in April of 2011, and by the time we became the top Amazon lunchbox
seller in June, we had between 50 and 75 orders a day. When we hit August and September – our busiest time,
with the start of the school year – we had 300, sometimes 500 orders a day. It was just phenomenal… I’m using
Amazon to fulfill my orders, which makes my life easier. Plus, when my customers found out they could get free
shipping with Prime subscriptions, the lunchboxes began selling like crazy.” Kelly Lester is the “mom
entrepreneur” of EasyLunchboxes, her own innovative line of easy-to-pack, environmentally friendly lunchbox
containers.
“I sort of stumbled onto it, and it opened a whole new world for me. Since I had over a thousand [book]
titles at my house, I thought, ‘I’ll give this a try.’ I sold some and I kept expanding it and expanding it, and come
to find out this was so much fun I decided I don’t ever want to get another job again. And I’ve got no boss –
other than my wife, that is. What could be better than that? We actually work together on this. We both go out
hunting, so it’s a team effort that’s worked out very well. We sell about 700 books a month. We ship between
800 and 900 to Amazon each month and Amazon ships out the 700 that people buy. Without Amazon handling
shipping and customer service, my wife and I would have to be running to the post office or someplace every day
with dozens of packages. With that part taken care of for us, life is much simpler… This is a terrific program and
I love it. After all, Amazon supplies the customers and even ships the books. I mean, how can it get better than
that?” Bob Frank founded RJF Books and More after getting laid off in the midst of the economic downturn. He
and his wife split their time between Phoenix and Minneapolis, and he describes finding the books he sells like “a
treasure hunt every day.”
“Because of Kindle Direct Publishing, I earn more royalties in one month than I ever did in a year of writing
for a traditional house. I have gone from worrying about if I will be able to pay the bills – and there were many
months when I couldn’t – to finally having real sav ...
