Not a Fan of NFT Books? Might Want to Rethink That...
I’ve seen a fair number of authors and individuals in the publishing industry dismissing the idea of NFT books in recent days. For example, the CEO of an “award-winning small press” commented yesterday that it was “a pile of unmitigated toss” when it was announced that the largest book distributor in the world (Ingram Content Group) had just partnered with the leading NFT book company in the industry (Book.io.) Another user commented that they stopped reading as soon as they saw the term NFT....

The Blockchain Publishing Company to Watch
My previous article noted several of the blockchain publishing companies that I had researched in my quest to find a potential partner for my own publishing efforts. I promised I would reveal which company was my favorite and, more importantly why, in my next article, so if that’s of interest to you, stick around and keep reading! Of the companies on my list, I was immediately able to eliminate two of them – Spatium Stories and NFTBooks- for the simple fact that they haven’t actually produced...

Literary NFTs and Blockchain Publishing
As a New York Times bestselling author entrepreneur, I am always on the lookout for ways to improve how I serve my readership and grow my career. For example, when little was being done to push my foreign rights, I took over doing it myself and sold my work into seven languages worldwide.

NFTs for Authors and Publishers
I’ve been thinking a bit about the utility of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) for authors and publishers in today’s book market. As a professional novelist for more than twenty years, I’m highly interested in how blockchain technology and NFTs can benefit someone in the publishing space.
