At SCWC’s 3-day conference, keynote speaker & first time author David Mathison inspired us with his road to publication tale of  BE THE MEDIA, http://www.bethemedia.com  whose essence encourages writers to maintain control of our intellectual properties-our words. David Mathison delivers complicated material in fairly easy to understand internet lingo both in-person and in BE THE MEDIA, a reference-thick book that steers writers away from traditional publishing and toward the internet. He got my attention immediately. I took lots of notes.

Evidently, multi published author Pamela Redmond Satran needed no convincing that the future in publishing is right here on the internet. Check out her latest novel, Ho Springs a serialized novel and multi-media event set in a fictionalized version of Hot Springs, Arkansas..  This is the FIRST online/interactive novel to HOOK me—totally.  If I were a betting writer, I’d bet this award-winning author/writer has offered us the template for writing fiction in the not so distant future. Study this one and learn a lot. http://creating.hosprings.com/2010/02/20/hello-world/
