Busking in Cyberland - You Are My Gatekeepers

Jul 24, 2009 16:44

In the traditional publishing model, an editor and/or publisher act as a gatekeeper--letting some stories through the gate to the public, and not others.

In short, this means they decide if a story is good enough to publish.

But their decisions are based on more than that. They consider lots of other factors, for instance:

gatekeeper, crowdfunding, busking, cyberfunded creativity, writing

Thank you for this. As I am in the process of launching the web site for my husband's and my stories, this is the kind of information I need to be certain that this is the right path for us.

You're very welcome.

I feel I am still working on developing a proper understanding of this new mode of publishing. I look forward to hearing about your insights too.

I knew there was another post I want to link to on my crowdfunding post earlier. Thank you for responding. I go put link on post now.

(Don't mind me, I have been trying to make sure my story posted correctly on its site.)

Got it from who know where when I first started LJ ans did not know enough to keep pertinent things like who made it and where I got it from.

I adore Hallmarks of Felinity on 9 Chickweed Lane.
