Digital Authorship : Publishing in the Attention Economy Paperback / softback
by R. Lyle (Bangor University) Skains
Part of the Elements in Publishing and Book Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
This Element looks at contemporary authorship via three key authorial roles: indie publisher, hybrid author, and fanfiction writer.
The twenty-first century's digital and networked media allows writers to disintermediate the established structures of royalty publishing, and to distribute their work directly to - and often in collaboration with - their readers.
This demotic author, one who is 'of the people', often works in genres considered 'popular' or 'derivative'.
The demotic author eschews the top-down communication flow of author > text > reader, in favor of publishing platforms that generate attention capital, such as blogs, fanfiction communities, and social media.
