The Future of Publishing

July 22, 2009 by Steven Savage

After reading this article on Michael Stackpoole's ideas about where fiction is going, my usual speculation urges came to the forefront. I began to wonder what might a viable model be for publishing internet fiction that would go around the big publishers, or at least let one build a reputation and an audience.

Understand of course I am NOT a professional writer (I've been published professionally, which is no where near the same). This is pure geek theory, so take it as you will, and make sure that grain of salt has friends.

So, here goes – what I see as a viable model for fiction publishing in the future.

The Advantage of Household Technology

June 25, 2009 by Steven Savage

One of my biggest advantages in my career was the fact that I got a home computer early in life.

That meant I could use job search sites back when they were just evolving, or send faxes over the modem. It meant I could train myself on software and in coding whenever I wanted. it let me build resumes and skills.

Now, years later (fifteen or sixteen to be precise), the home computer is nearly omnipresent, but one fact hasn't changed: the technology in your household can be a career advantage.
