Open Culture: The Digital Tipping Point: The Wild Ride from Podcast to Book Deal

    This was the first comment I made when I found the site - why not write a book? There isn't a lot about Byzantine history out there and after listening to the podcasts I have certainly been looking for more information! So I'll be hanging out to order the book as soon as it hits the stores. Good luck to the man and I hope he sells millions of books!

    I'm happy to see that podcasters who are podcasting about non-podcasting topics are getting book deals.

    To date, I could only find evidence of podcasters who podcast about podcasting getting book deals. Jason Van Orden, who wrote the book Promoting Your Podcast, got his book deal after the publisher heard his podcast. And I'm happy to report that my own book, Podcasting for Profit, came about after my publisher heard my podcast. So it's awesome that others are inking book deals as a result of podcasting.

    Hmmm....does this mean that shopping book proposals and working with literary agents will go the way of the dinosaur?

    Dan - I hope you're planning to ask for a commission. If you got it digged, then you should get dug.
