Jane Friedman is one smart cookie….

Galleycat is covering the new Jane Friedman (ex-Harper Collins honcho) digital publishing venture. I think the idea of backlist titles in digital is HUGE. I’ve already mentioned this to a couple of people that there are a lot of established authors who have books that are out of print, or manuscripts tucked in drawers and there is a great opp for anybody that can facilitate getting the books pubbed easily and cheaply. It’s a win/win/win for authors, readers, and the publishers who are on the ball.
