Please help me welcome Oliver Rhodes, founder of Bookouture Publishing! At the risk of sounding old, I have worked in publishing for the last 15 years. In the last three or four, I feel like I have had to almost completely re-learn my job as so much has changed. Whilst that means a lot of hard work, it’s a really exciting time to be working in the industry – and especially for me as I started my own digital publishing company, Bookouture, last year. Here are a few of my own observations about some of the changes in publishing that I think are particularly exciting… and some educated guess work about where the industry might be headed!

All week we've been talking about e-publishing and have even spotlighted an eReader and app in our Tech Reviews. We figured it would be fun to highlight some of our favorite eReader gadgets and accessories to close out Indie-Pendence Week 2013 in style!

The Husband Diet is for fans of snarky humour, women who know what it’s like to feel under-appreciated, and those that don’t think plus size heroines only come in a size 12. With a simple honesty that is in turns both hilarious and touching, you’ll laugh and cry. Sometimes both at the same time.
