Joanna Penn from www.TheCreativePenn.com explains how the changes in publishing industry can benefit you as a writer and author. Author 1.0 submitted a manuscript to agents and publishers, waited years for rejections, had no control and made little money (granted with some exceptions!) Author 2.0 is you and your book taking advantage of the web 2.0 tools available now! author 2.0 blogs, publishes globally on Amazon, by ebook, audiobook, podcast and video. They read RSS feeds and promote themselves virally and by word of mouth on Twitter and Facebook. Author 2.0 makes money from multiple streams of income!
This is a pyramid scheme, obviously.
This is a great map through a changing world. Thanks!
