 Self Publishing: The Future the Publishing Business
The future for non-fiction trade books is somewhat grimmer than the future for the fiction arm of publishing.
Publishers have become increasingly sophisticated in rushing out books to compete with titles that are selling strongly in the stores, but it forces them to acquire books in a hurry in areas where they may lack the expertise to evaluate the manuscript or the potential author.
The problem is that the publisher didn't look far enough to find the right author for the job, and they lacked the experience in the field to recognize that the author was producing a few hundred pages of filler.

Publishing for the more global market - essentially that done in Madrid and Catalonia - differs from publishing for the local market not only in the number of titles produced but also, of course, in larger editions.

 The Battle to Define the Future of the Book in the Digital World
While journal publishers can justify these investments because of the rapid move of scholarly journals to the digital medium, it seems likely most book publishers will be content with digital books that are by-products and close analogs of their printed works for the near future.
This litigation will determine whether print publishers also hold e-book rights for the books that are part of their active backlist published prior to the time when contracts became explicit about e-book rights [18].

 Amazon.com: Book Business: Publishing: Past, Present, and Future: Books: Jason Epstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Trade book publishing is by nature a cottage industry, decentralized, improvisational, personal; best performed by small groups of like-minded people, devoted to their craft, jealous of their autonomy, sensitive to the needs of writers and to the diverse interests of readers.
His key thesis, that the future of publishing lay in being able to obtain printed books on demand from ATM-like kiosks, is both hopeful and scary.
Publishers who in Epstein's early years were like intellectual families had by the eighties been reduced to mere distributors and advertisers.

 Open Source Enterprise Content Management System (CMS) - Future Publishing
Squiz took an “Extreme Programming” approach to this initial consultation period.  Its development team sat side by side with Future's stakeholders and created a detailed project specification that matched development requirements with an understanding of the resources needed and an overview of the complexity and cost of each stage.
They then created a web site that enabled the Future team to review each element of the specification in detail before committing it to their final plan.  Since Squiz had not yet been selected at Future's development partner for the solution, this deliverable was something that Future owned and could take elsewhere.
Unlike a commercial CMS, Future's MySource platform will not carry incremental license costs as the system grows.  Because it is licensed under an open source scheme, Future owns the solution and will not need to pay additional costs as new users or new servers are added to the infrastructure.

 Prolegomena to any future e-publishing model
This paper draws heavily on a much longer recently published paper (Smith, 1999) and that itself is an extended and elaborated version of Smith (1997).
Finally, at an even deeper level, the centrist approach (with the publisher at the centre) of the current model is at odds with the basically distributed model of the net.
It has been assumed by many considering the design of new publishing models that all the roles of the paper journal would need to be played by one organisation (the publisher?) in any net based replacement.

 Bart Day: Publishing Deals Made Easy
That is because, in the case of this “traditional” kind of publishing deal, the publisher’s responsibility is to proactively promote the songs involved and, theoretically at least, it is the publisher’s efforts that will cause any future success of the songs.
This type of deal is used when the songwriter just wants a publisher to collect royalties and handle the various paperwork (for example, the BMI/ASCAP song title registrations, copyright applications, the issuance of licenses, etc.), and where the songwriter does not want or need a publisher to proactively promote his or her catalog of song.
This type of deal is used when a songwriter or publisher is primarily interested in getting their material used in films, television programs, etc. and want to enter into a deal with a company that specializes in doing so and has all the necessary connections.
