@JaneFriedman recommendations for most innovative online literary mags? #indiechat
Bravo on the innovation article, @JaneFriedman. Change is always a challenge. Some thrive, others wither. #indiechat
@MariPassananti Call to action is something like “Buy my book” or “Subscribe to my newsletter”. Subtle wording changes matter. #indiechat
@AShortSeries If you can, prototype it. Get a visual together, something simple that can convey your vision #indiechat
@MichaelSimko1 Ha! No, dystopian fiction is a favorite. But I like dystopias to stay out of the pub industry. #indiechat
Rule #3. My favorite cliche, “Think beyond the book.” Re-imagine your story and content for multiple channels/mediums. #indiechat
Rule #2. Experiment as much as you can, but measure results and adjust. #indiechat
Rule No. 1: Develop a direct line/connection to your readership via your site & email list. Don’t depend on a third party. #indiechat
(Here’s the piece I wrote recently, Stop Looking for Innovation on the Newsstand) --www.bosacks.com/industry-news/stop-looki... #indiechat
Broadly, more paths are open to authors/entrepreneurs today than before. Legacy biz has a lot to worry about. See: Time mag. #indiechat
Where publishing is headed? It all depends on whom you ask. You can tell a lot by a person from their response. #indiechat
Yes, and a bourbon drinker. ;-) RT @AShortSeries: @JaneFriedman And you are so much more than that! #indiechat
I’m co-founder of @scratch_mag (writing + money), former publisher of @WritersDigest + I teach digital publishing at @UVA #indiechat
