The Frankfurt Book Fair has announced that it will launch a new series on its blog entitled 'EveryThink'. The series will comprise a set of posts by 20 experts working in the publishing and media industries, all of whom have been asked for their opinion on a particular topic. Each of these leaders will be speaking at one of the nine conferences that make up the Frankfurt Academy umbrella brand, and each have their own individual take on the issue being discussed.
It is expected that some might be controversial, some might be provocative, and some might be plain argumentative. But they will all offer food for thought.
The "EveryThink" series of blogs will be posted over the coming weeks, and there will be 20 in total by the start of the fair on October 12. Already participating in this new initiative is founder & CEO of The Idea Logical Company and Publishers Launch, Mike Shatzkin, who debates on whether the EU e-book market will take off in 2011. Also signed up is the founder of BookRepublic, Marco Ferrario, who offers his views on whether he thinks English-language e-books will disrupt global markets. Rights and Digital Sales Manager of Sage Publications, Huw Alexander, argues that the digital space will always be a playground of innovation and opportunity.
Coming soon to the blog will be TOC keynote speaker Mitch Joel talking about the need to reboot publishing business models, plus Profile Bookss Digital Publishing Director Michael Bhaskar on metadata.
More information about all these blogs is available online at www.book-fair.com/everythink.
