What a weird world in which the #publisher champions #GDPR because #privacy and #Mozilla says it's harmful 
#Schibsted also celebrates the #DigitalMarketsAct for reining in #Meta's #gatekeeper power.
Other interesting point: they'd like #cookies under the #GDPR instead of #ePrivacy combined with a timid acknowledgement that publishers are forced to participate in a system (of #programmatic #advertising) they cannot control.
Another #publisher jumping on Amazon‘s fuck the customer over-bandwagon by preventing downloads of books. https://mastodon.social/@mosiejczuk/114065119078661281
This is basically why I made it a habit to download and dedrm every ebook I bought for Kindle, and why I only buy #DRM-free music and movies. When you pay for ownership, you should get the goods, not just a license to the goods. Streaming kinda made sharing obsolete for some time, but we’re reverting back to the 90s/early 2000s faster than I could imagine.
"This type of low quality, #AI generated content, is what we... have come to call AI slop. Librarians... have been dealing with similar problems in the publishing industry for years, and have a different name for it: vendor slurry...
Several #librarians pointed me to IRB Media, a #publisher with hundreds of books on #Hoopla, all of which are seemingly AI-generated summaries of other books."

How a Scrappy New #Publisher Landed 25 #Books on the #bestseller List in a Year. Bloom Books took off with the help of E L James, the author of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” It broke with tradition and became the fastest-growing imprint in romance. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/books/how-a-scrappy-new-publisher-landed-25-books-on-the-best-seller-list-in-a-year.html #book #libraries #publishers #novels #novelists #ebooks
This happened yesterday!
I am a #Flipboard resident expert for an amazing publisher/blogger group called #FoodDrinkLife aka #brilliantbloggers.
When I joined this group I discovered a world of knowledge that will help grow any business.
BB offers everything from tips on how to grow your Flipboard presence (that would be me) to how to write an ebook, get on Mediavine, how to write for AP. Also how to hire a VA, how to promote on Facebook.
In short you HAVE to join this group. It’s essential if you are a #blogger or #publisher.
Beyond all #business these folks are your friends and family.
Here’s a link to join and grow in a supportive environment

So I guess what should happen here is not that some game maker (or just a random guy like me) makes a visual novel of a public domain text, but rather that a publisher should make their books into visual novels. Either books they've already translated/published, or even new translations of classical literature. Since they are public domain, no publishing house has any monopoly on them and can stop any publisher who wants from making a new translation or a visual novel.

Vasco Rossi: «Da materialista mi riscopro spiritualista. Scrivere? Lo faccio di notte, mi serve solitudine. Ma ora non ho energia»
L’editore e gallerista Emilio Mazzoli ha raccolto una selezione di versi delle canzoni di Vasco Rossi e radunato alcune sue riflessioni, tradotte in inglese da Paul Vangelisti. Il risultato è un libro d’arte. Qui proponiamo la conversazione pubblicata su «la Lettura» del 6 ottobre 2024
Translated:
Vasco Rossi: "From a materialist I rediscover myself as a spiritualist. Writing? I do it at night, I need solitude. But now I don't have energy."

Getting close to being ready to pitch 1st of 5 manuscripts to a publishing house.
Reaching out to the #Linux community to see if there is a #Publisher recommendation for #manuscript pitching.
