We've been working out the details and I'm delighted to announce it's now official: I'm scheduled to host a CEO roundtable discussion at the TOC conference in February. The title of the session is The Changing Role of the Publisher and the CEO panel consists of:
Clint Greenleaf of the Greenleaf Book Group
Michael Hyatt of Thomas Nelson
Bob Young of Lulu
Here's a summary of what we plan to cover:
The goal of this session is to talk about the evolving landscape of publishing and how the worlds of traditional publishers and self-publishers are converging. Author platform is more important than ever before. How do both types of publishers leverage this? What are each doing to help authors build their platforms? We’ll also talk about the types of capabilities and services traditional publishers need to offer to distinguish themselves from the self-publishing world.
Sounds like fun, don't you think? And remember, if you haven't already registered for TOC it's not too late. Use the toc09jwb discount code to save 15% off the conference fees.
