The publishing industry is crazy. Figure it out here.
A History of Future Publishing
by Giles Slade:
What I want to see is an e-Book that is no longer a simulacrum of a printed work. Soon, when people begin writing exclusively for eBooks, book metaphors like pagination will lose their functionality and fall away. But I also want the new medium to develop brand new possibilities. Maybe then, we will stop calling them e-Books and simply call them 'eebs.'
I like how this guy thinks, wanting us to get to the point where we are with music, where digital is the common space and analogue for the true believer.

Um, I didn't give too many people presents this year.
But I'll give you guys one.
You don't have to like it though. It's like when I gave my grandma
cashews. She's allergic.
So here's my favorite chapter to write in a very short book
I call "Emma."…
Thanks for the comment, I like tackling heavy subjects. But this one is from personal experience.
Matthew is her crush, I could say. Or her savior. I think I'll put up more. It's not meant to be really long. Just ten short chapters is enough to tell…
This is a pretty heavy topic. The last paragraph definitely has a lot of shocking reveals. What role did Matthew play? There's room for expanding should you choose to revisit this work again.
Congrats on finishing this project.
