Publishing without Boundaries:
How to Think, Work, and Win in the Global Marketplace

(2007, The Association of Educational Publishers)

Very highly recommended and instructive reading, Publishing without Boundaries: How to Think, Work, and Win in the Global Marketplace by Michael N. Ross . . .  focuses upon the impact digital publishing has had on the publishing industry, how to work with international publishers, and how American publishers can maximize development efforts. Publishing without Boundaries is designed to teach publishers how to adapt what they do to other cultures and media for the purpose of establishing relationships, negotiating licensing, and developing co-publishing contracts. Of particular importance to educational publishers, Publishing without Boundaries has a great deal of relevance and value for American trade publishers, niche publishers, independent publishers, and self-published authors seeking to expand their markets into other countries.

Dealing with Disruption:
Lessons from the Publishing Industry

(2016, Routlege)

https://www.amazon.com/Dealing-Disruption-Lessons-Publishing-Industry/dp/1472456874/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515278576&sr=8-1&keywords=dealing+with+disruption%3A+lessons

Humorous in a way only Michael Ross can be, this book thoughtfully and practically demonstrates how the digital age is disrupting the publishing industry but also brings opportunity to meet educational needs meaningfully while growing a successful business. Noteworthy case studies illustrate Ross’s concepts and offer rich new ideas for providing content in innovative and exciting ways. I highly recommend this book.

Rachelle Cracchiolo, Founder, Teacher Created Materials

Michael Ross writes from long experience with ease and authority. His analysis of change in audiences, creative development, marketing channels and financial models in global publishing is insightful and succinct. His practical examples illustrate his argument with clarity. Michael’s conclusion, that disruption challenges us by solving problems that the market—all of us—creates through the decisions we make, underpins his overarching philosophy: that no civilized society exists without the vigorous interchange of continuously minted fresh ideas.
