And The Books Are Out!

March 31, 2011 by Steven Savage

And here we go, TWO more books on geeky and fannish careerdom!

Convention Career Connection! This is my guide to creating career events at cons, based on my analyses, experiences, and previous work. It's a 5-step guide to creating career events!
Inhuman Resources, the best of my work in the second year of Fan To Pro. This also includes my series on resumes, stereotype-fu, and career/interest intersections.

They're available in Print, ePub, PDF, and Kindle – so no matter how you read, there's a way to get the book!

Thanks to everyone who helped, and be sure to let everyone know about the books!

So Borders is bankrupt. No surprise, no one is saying, “oh, I didn't see it coming,” and no one is really saying much of anything. We knew thugs weren't good, we suspected the worst, and were pretty much getting it. There's just no surprise, just a kind of sadness.

So I'm asking myself this; what happens next to Borders?

Books As History: Your New Sales Tool?

February 6, 2011 by Steven Savage

So as we all know eBooks are selling like crazy. Right now as we can read ebooks on multiple formats, on multiple devices, and save money, it's not surprising. These eBook sales also bring up the usual question of what happens to print media (you know the one that comes up every few months)

As much as I love my Kindle and eBooks, I admit part of me wonders about the role permanence of the printed word. A book can last. A book can be read without a battery charger or a when locked out of an account. A book is a record without strings attached.

So I'd like to postulate something that both sells more physical books and helps people appreciate them – something that may help you authors out there get your hard copies into people's hands.
