Via Juliet McKenna I have discovered a blog called The Digitalist. It is a production of the “digital team” at Pan Macmillan. Straight off I am impressed to discover that Pan Macmillan not only has a “digital team”, but they have been allowed to have a blog. This sounds very constructive to me. But what about the content? Well, the thing that caught Jules’ attention, and mine, is a the start of a series of postings by Sara Lloyd entitled “A book publisher’s manifesto”, which purports to be a meditation on the future of publishing a digital world. Some of it comes across as vacuous marketing-speak, but there’s plenty in the two sections posted thus far to suggest that Ms. Lloyd has indeed thought quite a lot about the topic. She may also have read The Diamond Age (or if she hasn’t I think she’d enjoy it).
