                 Everything Kevin Kelly Knows About Publishing

   Adam Engst

   At his blog, The Technium, [1]Kevin Kelly writes:

     In my professional life, I've had several bestselling books
     published by New York publishers, as well as many other titles that
     sold modestly. I have also self-published a bunch of books,
     including one bestseller on Amazon and two massive hit
     Kickstarter-funded books. I have had lots of foreign edition books
     released by other publishers around the world, including bestsellers
     in those countries. Every year I also publish a few private books to
     give away. I've contracted books to be printed in the US and
     overseas. I've sold big coffee-table masterpieces and tiny text
     booklets. Together with partners, I run some notable newsletters, a
     very popular website, and a podcast with 420 episodes. I accumulated
     followers on various platforms. I'm often asked for advice about how
     to go about publishing today, with all its options, so here is
     everything I have learned about publishing and self-publishing so
     far.

   I suspect that I'm asked for advice about publishing much less than
   Kevin Kelly, who co-founded Wired magazine and has broad experience in
   publishing, but everything he says here rings true to my ears. I highly
   recommend that anyone considering a bookish endeavor read Kelly's essay
   first.
