Publishing Industry   New Approaches to Education in the Korean Publishing Industry “It will work out somehow, as we’ve started!”   2023.01.02   The Foundation of the Book Publishing Industry in Korea   There are a great many publishing houses in Korea.

Korea’s Writing Platforms

Publishing Industry   Korea’s Writing Platforms   2022.07.04   In the book Writing Space, Jay David Bolter says that writing technologies realize the writing space. In other words, the writing tools, materials used, cultural selection, and social customs significantly impact the writer’s writing style and content. As a result, changes in writers’ works will be more evident in a different environment in the long run. After the Digital Revolution, people write about their daily lives more on screens than on paper, and people are moving from offline to online at an astoundingly fast pace.With changes in writing space, the pathway to publishing books is also changing rapidly. In the past, writers won literary awards, submitted to publishers, or were recommended by acquaintances before publishing their works in paper books. In contrast, writers nowadays increasingly publish their writings on online writing platforms first, get found by editors, and ...

Types of Korean Magazines based on Keywords

Publishing Industry   Types of Korean Magazines based on Keywords   2022.05.02   "The child plays because it plays. Reason does not exist in its play. (The editor-in-chief of Magazine B Tiktok)." This is a quote from Heidegger. Unlike books, magazines are like amusement parks as it is hard to expect what will unfold in the following pages. That is why it is okay to replace the word magazine with play from Heidegger's quote. A brand magazine Magazine B quoted Heidegger. The gap is the fun in magazines. Magazines neutralize the differences and show the unexpected of the world unpredictably.I used to work at a weekly magazine publisher. Once, I heard the president of a magazine publisher say, "You refer to books the most as you write one." So, likewise, magazines are what you refer to as you write one.The ones who visit The Magazine Club, a magazine bookstore located in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, are primarily editors. The co-founder of The Magaz...

Reviews, Review Journals, and the New Review Culture

Publishing Industry   Reviews, Review Journals, and the New Review Culture   2021.12.06   More than 80,000 books are published each year. It means that about 200 books are released in the market every day. Some become bestsellers, and some vanish from the shelves in a few days. People that are "sincere" about reading books lose their way in the piles of new books, trying to figure out which book is good to read. Some people wait for the book column in a newspaper, some listen to book introductions on TV or radio, and some nod their head to the fancy wordplay of book-tubers on YouTube. However, as there is no appropriate or trustable guide, many readers feel as if they are trapped in Daedalus' Maze.
