Internet authors are the new King Kong

No, not in the sense that Internet Authors are some wild animals on the rampage and broke the big city. That's a job reserved for rapacious developers, urban planners and officials of the Local Authority. No, the modern world is now a new phenomenon, and that the perpetrators who can take old stories and give them a new twist, not only by changing the plot but also changing audiences and changing the delivery mechanism. It is a revolution, but the reason This quiet overturning of rules has largely gone unnoticed is simply this: from the standpoint of the reader, nothing has changed. For example, I might mention here I have written a book or two. A reader of this work could then be browsing around their local bookstore tomorrow, remember my name and ask the establishment if you have some of my books on the shelves. The clerk will consult with your computer and say no, no Mike Scantlebury books "in stock" but, without hesitation, then will advise the customer, 'I can order it for you. " You may review the books available at the team store, choose what they want, and the next time visit the shop, the volume requested will be there, ready for purchase. Wait, you say you 'Mike Scantlebury, Internet author? "How did you get in bookstores? You do not even have an editor! That is revolution. That is the plot again. Yes, 'King Kong' is not really a giant ape. It's a movie it was done originally in the 1930s revived and tried again in the 1970s, then definitely rewritten with computer graphics in the noughties. It is an old story a new twist or two. Insects and creepy-crawlies that now threaten the explorers were not in the original, but hey, we live in an age more threatening. Besides, nobody could imagine that the giant insects in the 30s had no way to put them on the screen. Now we do. Likewise, any author struggling in the 1930s, spare away and hitting a borrowed typewriter in an attic, could not imagine another way of doing their work in print that attract the attention of a commercial publisher. Times have changed, and the device that makes all things new is the same that brought the giant ape to life so little time: the computer. The equipment has made it possible for any author, any creator of a history of the novel in length, to take the world as a fully printed book. In fact, the revolution is in print rather than publishing, and is as big as a change in the invention of movable metal type in Guttenburg in the 1480s. It is very simply this: with a computer and the right kind of printer you can print, cut and attach a copy of a book or two. One or two? That's going to sound ridiculous all Caxton printers to men who make money by Jeffrey Archer. But it's true. It is called "print on demand" and is exactly what it says. The point, of course, is the amount you want "demand." You can order one, or you may require five years. You may require fifty or if the claim can be five hundred. That's no problem. The difference between now and say, ooh, ten years ago, is that there is no printer or publisher does not, once the possibility of handling an author who could not be sold fifty thousand copies of a paperback book. The idea that we may never make the effort to bring a book to press to see five copies, or even five hundred, was laughable. What makes that editors tear their hair out now, cry and laugh, cry and mourn, is that the plan is not only feasible, but worse, much worse from their point of view, the writing can do as a compromise between the author and the computer company. No 'editorial' is necessary. Make no mistake, we live in a world where, or even hundreds of thousands of people around the world are living in the publishing industry. None of them, not a single soul will be able to admit you are no longer needed. Or, since the taste the commitment that his world might have contracted to include the Jeffrey Archers of the world, unimaginably great best-sellers, but from what most authors are concerned, they are redundant. They are no longer needed. Anyone who can put together a book, then write or is written in a computer, can now be according to an online advertising company to put your text on paper, glue the pages together and wrap a cardboard cover around it. From our point of view, each of us readers, it looks like a book, it smells like a book and reads like a book. The fact that there are well known and multinational Editorial behind process that gave rise to it will not ruin your day, or enjoy the story. The editors? Who needs. I have written a book or two, and you can read. And I'm not talking about pieces of paper, hastily cut together, or the words on a computer screen. I'm talking about paperbacks. Thinking about this last night, I count to I arrived with a fully finished fifteen novels in recent years. Each of the last of them will be available shortly, ready for order in your computer a book shop on-line or in person at a brick and mortar bookstore, and the whole thing, the process that puts stories in print, has happened without the intervention one person who makes a living as a self-styled "Editor." Now that I think, maybe King Kong is sweeping across the city after all, breaking down buildings, breaking and sweeping tramway cars. It's a monster, and the title of the giant newcomers to the scene, is published on the Internet. Old theories, old certainties are being swept away by a heavy foot, and traditional publishers are running for their lives, pursued by a new way of doing things. Of course, nobody knows the way to this little story. We all know what happened to Kong, pursued to the Empire State Building and shot down by guns and helicopters. It was a climactic battle and the new monkey on the block is crushed by the forces of tradition. What will happen in the Internet world of authorship? If I were a man betting, I'd say the monkey will succeed this time. About the Author
