  • A NEW DIRECTION for CHICK LIT by Rachel
    ABSTRACT CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING: A NEW DIRECTION FOR CHICK LIT by Rachel R. Rode Schaefer Focusing on novels published outside of the popular market, this thesis seeks to draw attention to work being published under the label of chick lit that subverts standard chick lit genre conventions. While much work has been and is being done that concentrates on popular market chick lit, such as Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary (1996) and Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City (1996), only cursory attention is being given to transnational, minority, and religious chick lit. This thesis considers chick lit within the larger history of women’s writing in order to contextualize the genre. Since chick lit has been connected to both feminism and post-feminism in its origins, consideration of this genre as a feminist genre focuses attention on how chick lit functions as a consciousness-raising genre.

  • 1 Examining New Business Models with Lyron Bennett, Sourcebooks
    1 Examining New Business Models with Lyron Bennett, Sourcebooks Brandi Larsen, BookCountry John Tayman, Byliner Karl Weber, LID Publishing a panel discussion recorded live Digital Book World 2014 Conference for podcast release Monday, January 27, 2014 KENNEALLY: On behalf of Digital Book World and Copyright Clearance Center, my employer, my name is Chris Kenneally. I want to welcome you to our program today called Examining New Business Models. I appreciate your joining us. Just to remind you about the program notes and all of this. Until very recently, the core business model of publishing was in a steady state. In fact, it had been so for a couple of hundred years. Publishers acquired copyrights, sometimes risking cash to do so by paying in advance, they printed books, and they sold them. Complexity came over time with the introduction of new formats, hardcover, eventually followed by trade and mass market paperbacks. And in past decades, audio books became part of the mix. In the late 1990s, though, Ingram’s Lightening Source successfully introduced print-on-demand technology, and when Amazon launched Kindle in 2007, the e- book market came of age. The combination of these two developments created an opportunity for publishing without inventory. Now, it seems in 2014, new models roll out regularly. Publishers in topical verticals are creating subscription offers, they are working with other suppliers of services for the same, and even selling memberships. They’ve created live events and tickets to readers to meet their authors. 2 Over the next 45 minutes here, we will discuss with innovative publishers what they are trying to do and how their new approaches move beyond simply selling books one at a time.
