Writing Excuses Season 2 Episode 26: How Publishing is Changing in the new Century

Published: April 6, 2009, 12:37 a.m.

b'Nancy Fulda, assistant editor at Baen\'s Universe and\\xa0 editor-in-chief and founder of Anthology Builder, joins us again while Dan Wells is out celebrating his birthday. We discuss the rise of digital SF magazines, and touch on concepts like user-generated content, the Superconducting Copy Machine, and disruptive technology. We talk about print-on-demand vs. self-publishing, we laugh as Nancy puts her foot in her mouth, and then we argue over whether free online content can generate income for authors, as opposed to webcartoonists.
\\n
\\nThis week\'s episode is 20 minutes long, because you\'re not in as much of a hurry as we originally suspected, and Nancy made us at least a little smarter.
