Starting Gun Fiction

Here is an article that explores some possibilities ahead for writers as the publishing industry moves more and more into cyberspace.

Starting Gun Fiction and Other Digital Age Writing Predictions
There is a great deal of talk right now about changes coming to the publishing industry as it transitions to eBooks and a world of digital, non-scarcity economics. However, this is precious little talk about the changes that will happen to writing as it too enters a new medium. To help improve that, here’s a little peek around the bend of what might happen to writing when literature moves fully into the Digital Age.

I think this new medium for writers will do wonders for the publishing industry. More people being able to get their stories out to the people is a great thing. How many stories are rejected now because the big publishing houses can't or don't want to risk promoting a new author, simply because he's new and may not bring in the profit?

This is going to change everything.

I think the fast-paced bit is going to taper off as an author builds a following.

Indeed. It will be interesting to watch.
