What a year 2012 is going to be. It has started off well with the launch of this new site. Scags at 18 and Scags at 7 are easier to download . You can also order the Print on Demand (POD) version of Scags at 18 via the link provided here as well. We are going to be more actively engaged in helping you learn about why this new age of digital literacy is important and how to educate yourself about it.
For example, much more of what is posted on the SSP Facebook page and our Twitter feed will also be visible here on the website. What’s happening today will affect us all–as we learn how our ereaders work, how to discover new books, or how the publishing paradigm’s shift competes with one of our simplest pleasures–sitting back with a good book and letting the words on the page take over.
Every work day, we post this news and place it in context. Keeping up with it can be daunting, but understanding it will help you understand how these changes are going to affect your life as a book lover.
On a sadder note, we had to dismantle the Itinerant Book Show. It wasn’t an easy decision but a necessary one. This will free up time and money so we can find new ways to stay involved with book loving communities across the country. Our interest to meet up with people in different venues to discuss the publishing world hasn’t disappeared. We just need to find a more cost-effective way to get the word out.
So, keep reading, please keep in touch and help us to get the word out about SSP.
