The current landscape of the publishing industry sees massive consolidation of mainstream publishers on one hand and self-publishing firmly established on the other. A multitude of new business models and new forms of content are emerging in the space in between. What does this mean for writers, publishers and other industry players? Maybe it’s never been easier for writers to publish, but how easy is it for them to make money? What does it mean to be an ‘authopreneur’? How are the traditional roles of writer, agent, publisher and publicist changing and what new skills and relationships do they need to develop in order to succeed or even survive? How far have we gone in the journey towards industries defined by content (food, travel, fiction/drama), rather than platform (books, newspapers and magazines, television, radio, web) and what will happen when we get there?
