In This Digital Age
6March 8, 2011 by Sarah D.
Whether we choose to believe it or not, technology is changing the book industry. E-books and on-demand publishing options provide instant access for both writers and readers alike. Once upon a time, a reader had to wait weeks—sometimes months—for a book to become available to them. Once upon a time, too, writers had to query editors and agents in order to get their books into the world. Technology, of course, has changed all that.
Click here for a fantastic essay in Talking Writing by the ever-brilliant Kelcey Parker. In this essay, Parker examines the evolution (and reinvention) of the book in the digital age.
Why do I mention this?
Drum roll, please…
90 Days to Your Novel is now available in a digital edition, of course.
Ta-Da! Presto!
Visit Amazon to buy a Kindle version, or check out Barnes & Noble within the next few days if you’re a Nook user.
Every time I read one of your updates or emails, its as though we share a brain! Its great having you as my “writing partner” … Looking forward to reading 90 Days on my NookColor!

You mean we don’t share a brain?
My Kindle envies your NookColor!
I love books, and I love just as much that I can read your words electronically – whether here or via Kindle and Nook.
I once vowed never to get a Kindle.
I now own a Kindle.
In the end, I realized it was the words, not the binding, that I loved so much.

Dear Satyabroto I don’t use Kindle either. Thanks for your mseasge. Distributing in any way you can is important in the 21st Century. Will carry on kindling stuff, and there’s lot more where that came from. Mike
