| Description: |
Athans & Associates Creative Consulting works with intellectual property studios to bring e-book tie-in fiction publishing to your suite of products. Founding Partner Philip Athans is a 25-year veteran of the book business, and himself a New York Times best-selling author. He's also the former senior managing editor for book publishing at Wizards of the Coast and has more years of experience editing game tie-in fiction than any editor in the world. The publishing business is changing every day, opening up extraordinary opportunities for small publishers to sell very low-cost, very high-profit e-books directly to your installed customer bases, bypassing the expensive printing, distribution, and retail segments and without surrendering creative and scheduling control to a licensee. If you have an active e-commerce site--if you can take someone's credit card number and send them an electronic file--your 24/7/365 e-book store is already open--you just have to stock the shelves. I can help you do that for a fraction of a percent of your overall development costs for a AAA game. |
