Follow on Google News | Sourcebooks Launches Agile Publishing ModelA New Platform for Authors—Faster, More Flexible, and with Reader Feedback
By: Sourcebooks “The traditional publishing model—long schedules, creating in a vacuum, lack of involvement with the readers of the end product—drives some authors crazy,” says Dominique Raccah, CEO and publisher of Sourcebooks. “This model is a great fit for experts who are highly immersed in their field and where the field is evolving rapidly.” Entering the Shift Age, by futurist, advisor, and speaker David Houle (www.davidhoule.com) “The model came to our attention from work O’Reilly Media was doing. What was really interesting to me was having a physical book come at the end of a community-building process, and what better way to launch than with a futurist,” says Raccah. The Entering the Shift Age blog will serve not only as the community site for review and discussion of the book, but also as a platform for the development of the Sourcebooks APM. Working together, Houle and the blog community will shape and change the content as the book moves from its initial stages as an interactive, digital platform to a “traditionally published” product. “I’m thrilled to be with Sourcebooks,” The Sourcebooks APM will be used across a variety of subject matter and content with nonfiction, expert-based authors.
