Do Movie Adaptations Impact Book Sales?

In a culture that has valued literature for centuries, adapting books for the big screen is becoming equally revered. We can now find quality stories in both TV shows and movies from streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. With recent adaptations such as Little Women, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, All the Bright Places, Little Fires Everywhere, and Big Little Lies, it’s no surprise that book lovers are elated: avid readers are often pleasantly surprised when their favorite books are adapted into a movie or TV series.

Building a Following Before Publishing: The Wattpad Effect

Everyone may want to publish a book, but only a few aspiring authors will actually get there. Publication can often depend on luck and the right publisher finding the right story at the right time.

There are several companies that are trying their best to convince you that ebook subscription services are the future of reading. They include Scribd, Playster, and the the hulking behemoth that is Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited. And while subscription services haven’t taken off in the same way as movies or music, the real question is, are they right for you?

By Rebekah Hunt The book industry has been slower to evolve than other industries. The big retail chains, who had undercut the already wobbly industry’s prices on paperback books back in the 1980s, are now seeing the same thing done to them by the burgeoning digital market and Amazon.com. Advancements in e-reader technology such as the […]

The Battle For a Digital Pricing Model That Works. Part One: Pub Wars!

By Rebekah Hunt In March of 2011, Jon Bon Jovi famously accused Steve Jobs of being “personally responsible for killing the music business,” in an interview with the London based Sunday Times. “Kids today,” the aging rocker said (probably after chasing some off his lawn), “have missed the whole experience of… taking your allowance money […]
