It\u2019s autumn in Wyoming, so the leaves are chang\u00ading col\u00ador, and the air is get\u00adting brisk. \u00c2 Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve accom\u00adplished this week:<\/p>\n
Work in Progress News ~<\/span> I haven\u2019t writ\u00adten any\u00adthing new in what feels like months! I just fin\u00adished tweak\u00ading Retreat. I\u2019m hop\u00ading to get it up on the sales sites almost imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly after the old ver\u00adsion is pulled, but I\u2019m not exact\u00adly sure how I\u2019ll do with that tim\u00ading. There might be a lapse. Olivia got the offi\u00adcial blurb for Last Call from Samhain Pub\u00adlish\u00ading (their blurb guru is amazing)<\/p>\n Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/span> I love this week\u2019s headline.\u00c2 Harper\u00adCollins Pub\u00adlish\u00aders Mak\u00ading 5000 Titles Avail\u00adable Print on Demand.\u00c2 <\/strong>That\u2019s great news! They\u2019re the first of the \u201cbig six\u201d to embrace POD<\/span> pub\u00adlish\u00ading. This will mean few\u00ader \u201cout of print\u201d titles, larg\u00ader avail\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty, and a much hap\u00adpi\u00ader environment.<\/p>\n New York, NY<\/span><\/a>, \u2014 In a first from a major trade pub\u00adlish\u00ader, Harper\u00adCollins Pub\u00adlish\u00aders today announced \u201cCom\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive Back\u00adlist.\u201d This pro\u00adgram will allow all phys\u00adi\u00adcal book\u00adstores, from the largest to the small\u00adest, to pro\u00admote and sell the Harper\u00adCollins back\u00adlist through in-store \u201cDig\u00adi\u00adtal-to-Print at Retail\u201d (DPR<\/span>) using the Espres\u00adso Book Machine (EBM<\/span>). The pro\u00adgram will enable book\u00adstores to offer thou\u00adsands of trade paper\u00adback books from the Harper\u00adCollins cat\u00ada\u00adlog through a mix of tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly print\u00aded books and DPR<\/span>, as space and cash flow restric\u00adtions will no longer be a fac\u00adtor. DPR<\/span> edi\u00adtions will be sold on an agency mod\u00adel. It is expect\u00aded that the inde\u00adpen\u00addent book\u00adstores that already have the Espres\u00adso Book Machine<\/a> in place will join the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If you don\u2019t know what the EBM<\/span> is, click that link for a YouTube video. It\u2019s the future of pub\u00adlish\u00ading, y\u2019all. Hero Quote ~<\/span> From my untilt\u00aded work in progress:\u00c2 \u201cI don\u2019t even know who I am.\u201d Noah spoke through his teeth. \u201cDo you know what that\u2019s like? To not even rec\u00adog\u00adnize yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span> A new one by Matt Nathanson. This one makes me smile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00c2 That\u2019s it for me. I hope you all have a great week!<\/p>\n\n
\nReal Life News ~<\/span> I got noth\u00adin. I\u2019m pret\u00adty much a bor\u00ading per\u00adson late\u00adly. I actu\u00adal\u00adly worked a whole bunch at my part time job this past week. I\u2019ll blame my bor\u00ading-ness on that.
\nSearch Term of the week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/span> This week I got a whole lot of folks search\u00ading for cin\u00adema\u00adgraphs. Now there are plen\u00adty of those out there, but they end\u00aded up on my Cinecov\u00ader page<\/a>, where I\u2019ve put all my new ani\u00admat\u00aded book cov\u00aders.
