Margaret Atwood - The Publishing Pie

Many of you may have caught this on Rachelle Gardner's link, but I'm posting it for anyone who didn't find it or take the time:

Margaret Atwood is one of the publishing world's most enduring and respected authors.  During this conference speech she outlines the evolution of publishing, what we're doing the same and what we're doing different from fifty years ago - and where it might be taking us.

Watch and learn my aspiring authorial friends.  This is one of the most educational (and amusing) twenty minutes you'll ever dedicate to your burgeoning career.

  3. Yes, exactly! There's a certain credibility that comes with having been in publishing for forty-odd years. She's a writing Yoda :)
