Getting Mark Coker right this time and agreeing with him up to a point

March 12, 2014 by Mike Shatzkin 15 Comments

On Tuesday, for the first time in the five years I have been writing this blog, I did a post I would like to take back. (But in the interest of the public record, and because there were several comments of value, I’m leaving it up.) This is the post that I should have written […]

We got lucky with the speakers we booked for Publishers Launch Frankfurt

October 2, 2013 by Mike Shatzkin Leave a Comment

Branch Rickey, the fabled baseball executive who gave us racial integration, farm systems, and a host of great teams over fifty years, used to say “luck is the residue of design”. I’d like to think he was right, because we have really been lucky with our Frankfurt show for Publishers Launch, which we present in […]

A brilliant Conference Council helps make a great Digital Book World

June 25, 2010 by Mike Shatzkin 4 Comments

We had a very successful debut annual conference for Digital Book World last January, even though we didn’t conceive the idea until June, put together a group of helpers (which we now call our Conference Council) until July, or draft the initial program until August. This year we’re way ahead of that schedule. We’ve put […]

The tipping has really already started

January 6, 2010 by Mike Shatzkin 20 Comments

The idea of an “Ebook Tipping Point” panel for Digital Book World arose when I wrote a blogpost last August https://idealog.com/blog/ebook-growth-explosive-serious-disruptions-around-the-corner on the occasion of the regular monthly release of the IDPF’s ebook sales figures. It was clear then that very substantial percentages of the sale of new narrative fiction and non-fiction were going to […]
