The Future of Publishing

The Australia Council and Copyright Agency Ltd have commissioned us to conduct a new study into the future impact of digital technology on the publishing industry. The research will build on last July’s Publishing: The Story of the Future seminar.

‘We are canvassing the industry’s views on how best to face the future,’ said Literature Board Director, Josie Emery.

We will look specifically at key ideas around:
• Creation of ebooks
• How Print On Demand (POD) works
• ecommerce essentials
• Revenue models and business planning for digital publishing
• A digital publishing portal

All information collected is confidential. A summary of findings will be published; if you’d like to receive more information please let us know.

To get involved in the study,

• Give us feedback through our online forum

- Bloom Partners were excellent. I found their training well researched and very well matched to my team's needs. It's vital to have detailed market and industry knowledge, and Bloom Partners certainly had both. I'll use Bloom again.

- In magazine publishing, communication is everything. Steve showed our research team how to make our communication with editors, publishers and ad directors count. In a world drowning in information, and starved for knowledge, Steve definitely helped turn our research into the latter. Steve will be the name of my first born. Boy or girl...

- For any independent publisher, there are just never enough hours in the day, and it's always marketing that seems to suffer. So I ask Bloom Partners to help, and they've been fantastic. Their knowledge of publishing means I don't spend all my time just explaining things. They're a great resource.

- We asked Bloom Partners to research a new market for us, and found their help invaluable. In fact, as a result of their work we were able to move far faster and more aggressively than we'd expected. I'd recommend them very highly, and we certainly have every intention of using them again in the future.

- From time to time we need information gathered - and quickly. Bloom Partners are always responsive and get us what we ask for, and often much more. A pleasure to work with.

- Our business is growing fast, and we simply don't have enough hands to look into new opportunities. When they come up, we turn to Bloom, who help us research and evaluate them. They haven't let us down yet!
