Publishing Industry Reader-friendly Publication Marketing 2023.05.02 Readers living in 2023 no longer get the latest news through book reviews in newspapers or advertisements. Instead, most of them purchase books through influencers on Instagram, YouTube channels, and book clubs and newsletters managed by publishing houses. As a result, more readers are meeting books through faster, friendlier, and more familiar channels.As an editor making book-review magazines in online bookstores, there’s one question that I always ask readers that buy 2 to 3 books every month - “Where do you get the news about the latest books? Are there times when you buy books recommended by other readers?” As a result, heavy readers were subscribing to newsletters of at least five publishing houses and were following dozens of authors they like on Social Media. Publishing companies, of course, have ...

A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition

A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition 2019.06.10 On May 9, the Korean Publishers Association held a seminar on current issues that affect the digital publishing industry called 'The Attack of Netflix, Fixed Price System for Books Challenged'. Participants at the seminar debated whether e-book subscription services and the fixed price system for books can co-exist in South Korea. Subscription services refer to online services where members can read an unlimited number of books online after paying low monthly fees, like Netflix.

With the rise of these monthly subscription services, worries have been growing they may shake up the entire fixed price system altogether.The seminar kicked off with an introduction from Chung Won-ok, a senior...

It was in 2019 that the short stories The Second Nanny and The Bloody Battle of the Broccoli Plain were published separately as ebooks, audiobooks, and paperbacks in English-s...
