RE: Who Needs Book Publishers When You Have Steemit?
hi jamie, o.. should I hurrah first? hurrah! It's really great to see real novelist gain some success here. but I think you still need book publishers, only this time they have to beg you. Still, steemit has its problem right now as a substitute for books as your chapters cannot receive income after one month. I hope you can help the dev team realize those issues and really set up steemit as the next gen publisher! Steem on!
Thank you @deanliu . I appreciate the context. I am aware of the issue and am very willing to discuss it with the Steemit product team. Given that the platform is still in beta, I suspect that the product backlog is long and that they might have competing priorities. As you know, in such an early stage venture, the business strategy evolves quite fast. I'm not sure if long-form serialised fiction is steemit's top priority right now, but I am surely paying close attention to the ongoing developments. I do have many opinions, but for now, my goal is to observe, learn and contribute as much as I can. Opinions and requests will come, once I get my head around the complexities of this exciting new world. :) J.
your words is a timely reminder to me. lately I was a little bit frustrated by getting no replies or no responses from dev team or peers... but you are right that I forgot how much work they have right now and we should be more patient. Indeed. Thank you for bringing positive energy back to me! Hope I can do a Chinese novel one day! (English novels too difficult for me :))
My pleasure. I wish I could read Mandarin or Cantonese. Best wishes with your writing @deanliu .
