  • From Blog to Blook
    15 | From Blog to Blook Jiaxin Yao, Department of Communications This chapter discusses the relationship between bloggers and publishing industries. Using a case study about K-beauty makeup blogger, named Pony, this chapter examines how one author found success with her blog, parlaying that success into a book publishing deal and line of beauty-products. Through an analysis of Pony’s blog and books, this chapter identifies key elements that have led to her success. Keywords: blogger, publishing, makeup tutorial, blook Introduction As a little girl growing up in South Korea, Hye-Min Park was fascinated by makeup. In her early twenties, while working as a graphic designer, she posted makeup tips online and decided in 2008 to start her own makeup blog on Cyworld (K. 2016). Her blogs found an immediate audience, and she quickly parlayed that success book publications, a line of makeup, and a career as a cosmetics expert. Known internationally as Pony, Hye-Min Park's story offers a fascinating backdrop for considering how this blogger turned her talent and technical into a prolific career in the beauty industry. By discussing Pony’s publishing experience as case study, this article provides few elements that should be considered when transferring from blog to “blook” writing. From Blogs to Books The concept of a “blook” is emerging in discourse about bloggers and book authors. A “blook”, which refers to a book written by a blogger. The “blook” is constantly evolving and has an ever- growing presence in the publishing business (Davidovich, n.d.). “As might be expected, the Copyright © 2018 Yao.

    Christopher Kenneally at PUBWEST interviewing Susan Daffron, CEO of Logical Expressions KENNEALLY: Welcome to another edition of Beyond the Book. My name is Chris Kenneally. I’m the Director of Author Relations for Copyright Clearance Center, and very happy to welcome an author and publisher with a very interesting perspective on the new world of print on demand publishing. Welcome, Susan Daffron. DAFFRON: Thanks. It’s great to be here. KENNEALLY: Susan, I could read three or four different bios for you. I mean, I’m looking at several of your books here. Susan Daffron is a former animal shelter volunteer veterinary technician and owner of six shelter critters. That’s one bio. Susan Daffron and her husband James Byrd also own Logical Expressions Incorporated, and have helped many clients create business Websites in addition to their own series of award-winning, high-traffic content sites. They operate their business from their log home deep in the forests of Idaho. And, well, there’s several more different bios of you. But why I thought we would want to chat today – and we’ve met at the Publishers Association of the West conference here in Portland – is some of the insights that you’ve garnered from personal experience about online publishing, selling of books online, but particularly making print on demand technology work for authors and for publishers. And I suppose the place to start is, give us an idea of your background, and what qualified you particularly – or what, I should say, prepared you for, you know, realizing the real potential of this new technology? DAFFRON: Well, I actually have been in publishing in one way or another for a very long time, actually since about 1988.

Because of that blog and her interests in Web 2.0 technologies, participatory archives, and rethinking the archival profession’s role in the twen- ty-first century, Theimer has edited and written several books and articles on these and related topics. These works include the Innovative Practices for Archives and Special Collections series published by Rowman and Littlefield and the single volumes A Different Kind of Web: New Connections between Archives and Our Users (SAA, 2011) and Web 2.0 Tools and Strategies for Archives and Local History Collections (Neal-Schuman, 2010). Well, What Came Next? is a “blook,” or publication of selected entries from Theimer’s blog over the course of its ten-year history. While many blog writers in other fields have successfully published blooks based on their blogs’ content, I am unaware of any other archival blog author who has done this.

  • 1 What Is a Book? Redefining the Book in the Digitally Social Age
    What is a Book? Redefining the Book in the Digitally Social Age Miriam J. Johnson, Oxford Brookes University 1 Abstract This article focuses on what is meant by the term ‘book’. Here, there is a consideration of how the definition of the book has altered over time as technology has improved and as writers themselves began to have different relationships to the book and industry. It further explores the ways the book itself has altered in format, from printed to digital, with audio editions, and socially in relation to the rise of social media and a new form of author who chooses to write and share their works directly within social platforms. In this context, book must be redefined to incorporate the context of new social technology. Key Words: Authors, Book, Publishing, social media What is a Book? Redefining the Book in the Digitally Social Age This article seeks to examine changing ways of thinking about the ‘book’ and how new technologies and social media platforms are perceived in this context. To do so, it analyses a question central to this exploration: What is a book? The literature critically examined in this article is viewed through a theoretical background anchored within Foucault’s idea that “the frontiers of a book are never clear cut” (Foucault, 1989, p. 23) and Marshall McLuhan’s rear-view mirror (McLuhan & Fiore, 2008). This article explores the changing definitions of the book in relation to the growth of new technologies. I first takes into account the way the ‘book’ continues to change with the advent of new technologies.
