Publishing: The Revolutionary F...Re: Jason Epstein. Publishing: The Revolutionary Future - The New York Review of Books<br /><br />I fully agree with Epstein&#39;s overall perspective on the vast changes that are and will take place both in publishing and our culture. We can only speculate on many of them at this early stage.<br /><br />I&#39;m puzzled by Epstein&#39;s comment that &quot;fiction is almost never collaborative.&quot; When was it ever? I can&#39;t think of a single book of fiction or poetry, of the first order, in any culture, that was &quot;collaborative.&quot; What would it be? Maybe some of the old early epics, Gilgamesh, as he alludes to, very rare. Otherwise, a contradiction in terms...<br /><br />Despite that caveat, I think it&#39;s fair to say Epstein has his finger on the pulse of the Post-Gutenberg revolution more than anyone else, though I think he&#39;s undervaluing ebooks, though it&#39;s understandable, since he&#39;s placed all his chips on the Espresso Book Machine.<br /><br />I should state I&#39;m slightly biased since I have three books available through his Espresso Book Machine.<br /><br />My own attempts to understand these transformations, as both a writer and publisher, can be found on my website, if interested: <br /><br />Publishing in the Post-Gutenberg Age<br />http://www.fglaysher.com/Post_Gutenberg_Publishing.html<br /><br />Frederick Glaysher<br />http://www.fglaysher.comFrederick Glaysherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119494478338592289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098461777958952290.post-53954921907236872962009-11-15T04:19:01.954-08:002009-11-15T04:19:01.954-08:00Online collaborating and teaching can work, If you...Online collaborating and teaching can work, If you have trust and the right tools.<br />I recently tried http://www.showdocument.com - good app for uploading documents and working on them in real-time.<br />Most file types are supported and it needs no installation. - andyandynoreply@blogger.com
