Except, in King’s case, the split was more like 50/50. Talk about giving your publisher an incentive to make the book a success.

There are too many options coming open to the product producers (writers). I have heard all the arguments and am firmly committed to the traditional publishing business model, but as a guy that grew up in business and mergers and industry collapses I fear the publishing industry is facing some real competition in the next generation of writers, once they realize that they control the product, not the book manufacturers. Of course distribution will be the key, not the printing presses. POD Publishing is rapidly reaching the the same quality of product (the actual book) that traditional publishers producers release. And they can do it quicker and can offer standard returns to the trade. Their higher commissions and ablilty to keep books in print for eternity is another advantage. No ware house expense. If barnes and nobles needs 50 copies, just plop in a disk an run 50 copies . Put them on the truck and send them. No need to go to the inventory and drag out fifty books sitting in a warehouse somewhere.Just pop in a a disk and let the computer do the rest. One the distribution gets worked out I think this will fly. We will start seeing thousands of book racks in unconventional locations, such as convenience stores and truck stops.
I think it will be a revolution that goes back to the age of the early days of the paperback generation.Small Pods will slowly develop distribution on regional basses and eventually gain larger and larger market share.This end of the industry is just in its infancy and the writers are all sitting back to see where it goes.
As agents perhaps you need to start developing plan B.

Thanks so much.

Also outside the box is Komenar Publishing in the Bay Area. It publishes fiction by previously unpublished novelists. In addition, it doesn’t halt its promotional efforts after the first three months.

Coming your way with a book franchise proposal. So far I like the way you all think. I am with Major League Baseball and do not have time to approach publishers myself. This post is further evidence of how immersed you are in those relationships.

Best wishes and hope you will see me soon!

I suppose it’s another great reason to have strong representation as the non-traditional path prob. has some potholes an eager author might overlook.

Anytime an established industry spreads its wings and tries new things, it’s a good thing. Can’t wait to see how it evolves!

You summarized this so well. I’ve been trying to blog about the new trends in publishing but it’s not my area of expertise… so I linked this post! It’s exciting stuff.
