Social Media and Books The International Bridge 15. Books Without BordersIn the days of old (i.e., the 20th Century) book publicists wanted todo one thing: Land stories that would push readers intobookstores.Now, we want to take them to Amazon, to NetGalley, to theauthors website, etc.Which is usually no problem -- until we get an international book.Enter Haven Books, a Hong Kong publisher who came to mycompany, PR By the Book. 16. Haven Books is a Hong Kong-based publisher of lifestyle, ction, and young adult ction titles. We loved them, but would American media?PROBLEM: Translating English-language, Hong Kong-cultural reading material for U.S. reading audiences.SOLUTION: Turn book bloggers into our translators. Social media users became our partners in contextualizing Asian content for non-Asian readers. 17. Book blogger tours: Rather than identifying local media markets,were now identifying tribes of reader interest.Social media users act as our tribe leaders. Examples: Food,travel, family/parenting.As book publicists, were now trying to add more internationalbloggers and social media users to our blog tours. It extends ourclients media (and hopefully sales) opportunities beyond the U.S.if we can harness English-language bloggers in differentcountries. 18. This book publicity model necessitates a new type of publisher.Today, publishers are tied to distributors, who are tied to bookstores. Its an industry run on paper.Now that our industry is going digital, publishers are responding in kind: Enter The Domino Project. Highly vetted, high-quality books, available to readers all over the globe. 19. This presents us with questions of book economics, book access, andthe international market: 1. If digital books are substantially cheaper, will traditional publishers survive?2. Do we still need traditional publishers? 3. Who will be our global tribe leaders in the future?4. How can we get more books, more quickly, to countries and readers who need them? 20. KATE SCHNEPELWildlife SOS India@wildlifesos @KateSchnepel 21.
