Oreilly's Tools of Change for Publishing Conference wrapped up a little while ago. Unfortunately, I was busy last week so this is all a bit dated, but Margaret Atwood's presentation was incredibly interesting and funny. She also helped to frame the conversation from the author's ( "the Primary Source" as she puts it) perspective and I think that was a real positive.

Honestly, I believe the best option she lists is the U.A. model. In fact, I really believe that is where we are headed when it comes to a variety of artistic endeavors, and I readily welcome it. The idea of content creators, of all types, organizing and coming together to produce, publish, and promote their own works just gets me excited.
