Reverse Windowing: Publishers experiment with eBook releases before print
Blog Post by Collin Kelley - Oct.28.2011 - 8:22 pm
When Vanilla Heart Publishing announced it was going to release my mystery/suspense novel, Remain In Light, as an eBook in October and wait until January to release the trade paperback, it made me pause.
VHP had published my debut, Conquering Venus, in print and eBook on the same day back in 2009. But that was sooooo two years ago. "Haven't you heard of reverse windowing?" VHP's managing editor, Kimberlee Williams, asked.
Sheepishly, I had not.
You can find out more about reverse windowing -- or digital first as some refere to it -- in my article at Huffington Post at this link.
Many thanks to the fine folks at Red Room (especially Gina Misiroglu!) for helping to make this article possible and Huffington Post for posting it!
