iPad and Open Book/LCMCan't you feel it?  The world of publishing has forever changed with Apple's recent introduction of the iPad (Mar.3.2010).  As was the case with most 'old media' (Radio, TV, Newspapers, Book/Magazine  Publishing), users were declining in double digits, thanks to the Internet, but it'll be fascinating to watch what now happens now to publishing with Apple's latest new device. 

LisaCampbell MEDIA is watching the new terrain closely, as we rebrand our PRDesignGroup (PRDG) as an e-publishing and eBook promotions division.  Will the new technology encourage more readers?  We think so, absolutely!  Will it simplify the way authors release their work? Yes!  Will readers respond?  That is yet to be determined, but we think they absolutely will.  And have. 

We encourage you to consider publishing your own IDEAS.  It doesn't matter what industry you're in, whether sales, marketing, gardening, sports, music - being a published author will open many doors for you and establish you as an expert.

But don't go it alone.  You'll still need creative imaging, graphic design, layout, EDITING, and that's where the PRDesignGroup can help you.  Once you have your story "idea", LisaCampbell and her team of professionals can help you package your work to best represent you and your brand.  

Once you have your story on the printed pages of a book, you can leverage it to your ultimate personal or business advantage.  You can charge higher fees, attract more media attention and create for yourself an excellent stream of ongoing revenue.  

I'll be blogging about changes in the industry both here on LisaCampbell MEDIA.com and The wwwipple EFFECT (blog).  I'll share all that I know on this exciting new experience in publishing and reading.  And we'll see what happens - together.  

For now, WRITE ON!

CREATE YourSELF an iPAD Book!4309829213_433828bb3a_b_cp.jpg

Getting a book deal isn’t easy (I can personally vouch for that), and Apple is now an alternative to the traditional publisher. The company this week opened a new portal for independent authors to self-publish their books for the iBooks Store open to iPad (and soon iPhone) customers.

Apple’s iTunes Connect program has a section where authors can self-publish their work under certain formatting requirements, MacLife first reported. Basically, the books must be made in the ePub format like the rest of the offerings in the iBooks Store.

Apple’s iPad launched simultaneously with the iBooks Store, and several major publishers such as Penguin, Harper Collins and Hachette Book Group, have signed up to publish their books on the iPad. Apple later announced in March that the iBooks Store would be available for iPhone users as soon as iPhone OS 4 launches in the summer.

With iBooks and the iPad, Apple’s biggest target is Amazon, who hosts its popular Amazon e-book store and sells the dedicated Kindle e-reader. Amazon, too, allows authors to self-publish books through their market.
