Essays from the bleeding edge of publishing.

We have moved from maybe-e to definitely-e in the publishing world. This book is a handbook of kinds, giving a front-line view of where we are and where we are going in publishing. Read it online, buy it, or sign up to our mailing list.

About the Editors

This book was the result of collaboration among many people: writers, editors, developers, publishers, and others. Trying to wrangle this collection of talented people were Brian O’Leary and Hugh McGuire.
 
Hugh McGuire is a technologist and writer, who experiments and writes about the changing world of publishing. He is the founder of LibriVox, a free digital audiobook library, iambik audio, a commercial digital audiobook company, and PressBooks.com, a digital book production tool, upon which this book was built.

Brian O’Leary is founder and principal of Magellan Media, a management consulting firm that works with publishers seeking support in content operations, benchmarking and financial analysis. He writes extensively about issues affecting the publishing industry, including a research report on the impact of free content and digital piracy on paid book sales.
