In considering how books will be produced in the future, we decided to approach publishing as a complex ecosystem with many stakeholders, instead of an assembly line process or a simple, unproblematic transaction between and author and a monolithic corporate entity:

• Jane Friedman, “The Atomization of Publishing”
• Dan Gillmor, “An Author-Centric Ecosystem”
• Lee Konstantinou, “Our Friend the Book DJ”
• Charlie Stross, “Publishers: What Are They Good For?”

Look out for our next set of pieces on the future of writing and editing, and contribute your own thoughts about the future of publishing today and tomorrow!
