I run a little publishing company, and have been playing with steemit, in part, to see exactly how this platform may change the industry. After releasing a little sci fi novel exclusively on steemit (and finding/following a bunch of awesome writers etc.), it seems like steemit has the potential to become the place for specialty fiction/poetry/graphic novels.
I've actually started recommending my authors to develop a steemit presence as part of their standard marketing activities.
