Facibus Reviews

I read two articles via RSS this morning that exemplify the differences between Publishing 1.0 and 2.0.

Print is Dead talks about New Grub Street 2.0 and the struggle to publish in a traditional sense (i.e. hardcopy via a mainstream publisher) and how this can lead to a lot of heartache for authors.

Jon Morrow’s interview with Seth Godin where Seth talks about how the playing field has changed - and while he doesn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater (by advocating electronic publishing only), he does show by his own example that the blog begets the following that begets the free ebook that begets the hardcopy book.

If you are interested in writing your own book, my humblest recommendation is that you read both of these articles.
