The Four Paths to Publishing
THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book. -

Backhaus Professor of Public Finances University Maastricht - AE P.O. Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands tel: +31-43-3883636 fax: +31-43-3884878 e-mail: [email protected] Prepared for the Business Library Review. Abstract The recent Bertelsmann buy-out of Springer ends 157 years of fiercely independent scholarly publishing. On Tuesday February 16, 1999, the European Commission decided that, although both companies are active in professional publishing, the takeover does not raise any competitive objections because they have different focuses in that (professional) market. "The market share increase through the merger is limited", the Commission said. "Consequently, the concentration has been declared compatible with the common market."1 This review article recalls the formidable history of this science publisher and its role in helping establish entire fields of science and technology. In particular, the role of this independent privately- held publishing company in confronting attempts infringing upon academic freedom is being emphasized. JEL codes: I28, L41, N44 keyword: science publishing 1 Wall Street Journal Europe, Wednesday, February 17, 1999, p. 5 On February 16, 1999, the European Commission allowed Bertelsmann's taking over the science publisher Springer-Verlag. Thus, a 157-year old privately-held company ceased to exist as an independent entity, a force that had shaped the landscape of scholarly publishing. Bertelsmann AG is the world's largest book publisher, and it is among the world's largest media companies. -
