I am reporting a story about how authors are adapting to changes in the publishing industry, particularly the growing importance of digital publishing, independent publishing, academic publishing, and changes in reader behavior. I am looking for authors, editors, literary agents, publishers, and publishing professionals who can provide firsthand insights. Please share your relevant experience and briefly address: What major change have you seen in publishing in recent years? How has that change affected authors? What should authors understand about the current publishing environment? Please include your name, title/role, organization, and relevant credentials.
