“PDF/POD” - Korean Publishing Market Develop into Diverse Formats

Publishing Industry   “PDF/POD” - Korean Publishing MarketDevelop into Diverse Formats   2023.02.20         The interesting promotional text of a self-published e-book, How to Write a Profit Generating E-Book, by writer Yoo Sung-Woo says, “The secret to earning 500 million won with a 10-page PDF e-book” on the page of a crowdfunding platform Wadiz. The book successfully raised hundreds of million won of funding. Before the book was introduced to Wadiz, it was released on freelancer matching platforms, like Kmong, Taling, and Class 101, accumulating more than 500 million won in revenue. Though the book was not officially published in the market, and considering that selling 10,000 copies of a book was regarded as half of a success in the prolonged recession for publishers, an individual book recording such revenue was unprecedented.

Time to Dive Into Korean History

One-Liner Quotes   Time to Dive Into Korean History Lawyer’s Pick   2024.01.02   Jung Hye-Jin is a Korean lawyer, who wrote the books May It Please the Court (Mirae Books) and When Names Become Law (Dongnyok Publishers).   Just thinking about Korea’s evolved reputation on the international scene makes me giddy. When I first went to the US over 30 years ago, and when I lived in the UK 20 years ago to study, one of the common phrases I heard was, “Where are you from, China or Japan?” Korea is no longer the country it used to be, when it didn’t have a distinct identity in the minds of Westerners. Kimchi, once unwelcome in dormitory communal kitchens because of its smell, has become a global favorite. Here are two books with unique perspectives on modern Korean history, explaining what happened inside Korean society that led to this major shift in perception outside of Korea.   ...

This place has many publishing houses as well. People say Jinbocho has become famous as a hub for bookstores because there have been many educational institutions in the area since the 1600s.

Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays

Special Project   Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays The Second Character Outshines the Main Character   2021.10.05   Anyone can dream of many different kinds of life. This is because it’s part of human nature to struggle with wholly expressing yourself in just a single way. Recently, there has been a hot trend of second characters (a term referring to a new or different version of yourself) being used by individuals to express each of their unique, respective identities. One of the trending ways of doing this includes essays. This refers to writing and publishing essays that portray the joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure one feels in the workplace while weaving one’s work characteristics clearly into the essays. With the increasing popularity of essays in the publishing market, “career essays” on the truthful experiences and stray thoughts one has in the workplace are also booming. There’s a so-called genre of writing, “Jobssay,” ...
