April 24, 2010
March 25, 2010 Founded in 1987, Dominique Raccah’s publishing company Sourcebooks is a leader in innovation action. From PoetrySpeaks.com, an iTunes-modeled poetry discovery and social networking site, to a collaboration with SmashWords to create DRM-free ebooks, Sourcebooks continues to find new ways to create, market and sell books. Raccah discussed her experience with these risk-taking projects and spoke about translating ideas into action in an ever-evolving publishing industry.
February 23, 2010 Book publishers are now running two companies simultaneously, the (old media) company which is their current business (and most of their revenue stream) and a (new media) company with new and often different business models. There has never been more opportunity (or greater challenges) for book publishers. This session examined assessing book/author verticals, translating verticals into customer communities and potential revenues including and beyond e-books, stripping costs out of our legacy systems, the management challenges of running two companies and publishing opportunities beyond the traditional book.
February 10, 2010 Raccah discussed how book publishing is just one of the print media that is transforming and that transformation has lots of implications for marketing. New technology is consistently changing the way in which people receive their news and entertainment. From iPhones and e-readers to vertical communities and Google Editions, the future will challenge the way in which we market and monetize media. So what are the options and why is the role of marketing the key to the future of new media?
January 26, 2010 At Digital Book World, Raccah shared what she and her team have learned in the first 90 days of launch, not just about the site but from the poets, the poetry presses, and the wider poetry community. She addressed business issues, from the partnership agreements to the pricing models, site design, analytics, and the metrics they are developing to assess the success of the initiative. Raccah discussed the many valuable lessons they are continuing to learn and talk about how they’ve responded to feedback from their partners and users. Her larger mission, however, is bringing a new spotlight to poetry and empowering poets to create broader, closer relationships with their audience.
