Publishing hasn't seen this much change in its 800-year history. New technologies bring a wave of opportunities as they disrupt regular print cycles and business models. Books are consumed digitally on portable devices, a new opportunity for authors and publishers to produce multimedia content. Authors can self-publish without the support of a major publishing house and find an audience through social media. As major publishers shift their businesses, new upstarts launch ideas for sharing digital content on a variety of platforms.
It's a tremendous time to be in publishing, but it's not without challenges. Mediabistro.com's eBook Summit tackles some of the most pressing industry issues to help you navigate the changing industry ecosystem.
