Are Books Dead? Are Self-Publishers Killing Their Chances for a Traditional Publishing Deal? Will Libraries Survive in a Digital Book Future?
Ugh.
I usually avoid reading posts with hyperbole headlines about facets of The Future of Publishing. Sometimes, curious, I skim the post with an arresting title quickly, searching for a nugget of credible information. If none is found, I close the tab and fume a little (in the “did-this-writer-have-a-deadline-and-nothing-to-say??” genre which is followed by “I-should-have-known-better”) and then I remind myself that post writers rely on website traffic to justify their value on a blog, and a sensational headline works wonders for that. I know this is Blog Writing 101. I get that.
