No joke, no click bait.
I've been draft plans to start a print/online hybrid publishing company lately, and I imagine there are plenty of folks on Steemit who might be interested. The core idea is that authors would retain complete ownership of their work and the publishing house will simply split the royalties with them in exchange for working the branding, marketing, promoting, and all that tedious good stuff. Since I'm in early planning stages I'm still pretty flexible about what content to solicit, but I want to be fairly diverse: fiction and nonfiction welcome, and some particular ideas include a series by Radical Thinkers (much like what Verso did with their "Radical Thinkers" series, only by people who are still alive), an academic journal (I and a few of my colleagues are finishing our Ph.D.s), and probably serialized fiction.
Anyone who's shared a similar interest: please follow me to keep on top of the scheme as it unfolds, and do comment with your thoughts if you'd like to actively participate as a writer, editor, marketer, web guru, whatever. All are welcome!
