At New Media Day in Amherst MA, I listened to speakers discuss the digital revolution. James McQuivey, author of
Digital Disruption, was the first speaker. He impressed all one hundred people in attendance by giving his entire lecture without Powerpoint because the projector wasn't working. To get an understanding of the quantity of the digital marketplace, he mentioned Apple has sold 155,000,000 ipads. He also said that the most successful writers are those that publish with traditional publishers and also self-publish.

Rubin Pfeffer, who works at East/West Literary Agency, discussed the market and how publishers are creating digital imprints and collaborating with e-publishers to meet this new demand for digital content. Three authors discussed their experiences turning their out of print books into e-books. Sales are tough because the app search facility is lousy. Lastly, Ruth Sanderson spoke about her long career and being flexible and willing to try new things.

I brought my camera on a stroll through the woods out back. Color was everywhere.
