booksI have long admired the work of Joanna Penn and when this email landed in my inbox a few moments ago I had to share it with you.
If you have ever doubted the credibility or viability of online publishing, this email and short video from Joanna will put your mind at rest once and for all.
And, if you are thinking of self-publishing but would like someone to hold your hand who knows the ropes, you know where to find me. For, while I am a publisher in my own right, I also help authors start their own press if that is what they prefer.
Read on:
Seth Godin, 12 x NY Times bestselling author with business books like ‘Linchpin’, ‘Purple Cow’ and ‘Tribes’ has announced that he will no longer publish in the traditional manner with print books.
He will go direct to his market and his customers through digital means by publishing to his blog, with ebooks, videos and other digital media.
This is extremely exciting for authors as his very public defection is causing many people to change their minds about what it means to self-publish or be an independent author. The stigma is crashing down!
I have just made this short video explaining what has happened and what it means to you

I hope you find it useful and please do leave your thoughts in the comments.
To your writing and publishing success,
Joanna
