But I’m guessing the blog will be the biggest influence in selling books, as well as Twitter.

Congrats on your poem in The Concinnati Review!

Newspapers in Seattle, rather the only big newspaper left in Seattle, is in a sorry state, but so are the independent bookstores.

Maybe publishing won’t be a BIG MONEY MAKER in the future. Maybe writers will sell their books from their blogs or websites and to their friends and families and at readings. I’m not sure that’s altogether a bad thing. It worked for Oscar Wilde. (I have a post card with his picture on it in front of me so he came to mind). He died penniless etc. but we still know who he is.

Maybe in the end, it will be the great writers who are remembered and there won’t be so much crap floating around. Who knows.
