Keeping up with the times, following the evolution of the market and communication, renewing and experimenting: today, if we want to give more strength to our writing, we must consider all of this. Remaining anchored to a past that can never return will make us retreat, weaken our name and make us fall into oblivion. Even some modern practices need to be reviewed, rethought, perhaps from scratch. Self-publishing is almost emerging as the only solution to avoid the delays of publishing and have the certainty of publication. But is it worth doing without conscience? The era of the hybrid author: self-publishing+traditional publishing I am increasingly convinced that today, with all the means we have and with the ever-wider diffusion of ebooks, ereaders and tools to facilitate publication, it is no longer convenient for a writer to be tied to a publishing house.
Even if self-publishing is not for everyone - for reasons of time, knowledge and specific skills - this is the era of the hybrid author , of the author who establishes his independence by choosing, based on his work, the typology best suited for publication. Today, publishing only with one publisher represents a strong limitation. But self-publishing doesn't mean Special Data entering the publishing market through the back door. This concept must be very clear. The era of differentiation: novels and single stories in ebook The idea of the writer who only publishes novels is over. Thanks to the existence of ebooks today we can publish - both in self-publishing and with traditional publishing - even a single story. Creative writing has finally equaled music: doesn't an ebook with a single story correspond to a single CD (or old 45s)? It wouldn't even be a bad idea to publish an ebook with a story taken from a future anthology, which perhaps also contains one or two minor stories not present in the collection, just as we are used to seeing in singles and music albums. Sherlock Holmes and the case of the missing detective : story in ebook for Delos Digital by Antonella Mecenero.
Blog: the platform for the author I've been trying to do a technical interview about writing since mid-May 2014 (yes, that's 8 1/2 months) and do you know what the main problem was? Not being able to contact writers, even if they were younger than me, because they didn't have a representative website. When they had it, most were in pitiful condition graphically and structurally. Why do I always repeat that a writer, today, in 2015 now fully underway, must have his own blog? Because you can't entrust your communication to electronic stores, publishing houses, social media. Today we must be the ones to talk about ourselves. It is clear that managing a blog requires time and skills and also desire and passion and ideas for writing and everything you want, but consider one thing, just one: how do you plan to reach readers? From an ebook or two on Amazon? Ok, you've published your beautiful ebook on Amazon, but have you thought about what could happen? That a reader, who perhaps appreciated your ebook, searches for your name on Google and finds nothing, because you aren't there. If you're lucky, he'll find your Facebook profile or a Twitter account.
