According to Publishers’ Lunch – Seth Godin has scored another sale (or rather his phenom agent has) for a yet to be titled book. And yet to be revealed subject. (Hmm, wonder if Seth will send out queries on his blog for suggested titles.) Either way – the “Tribes” author (along with all other previous books) can add another book to his surely branded Seth-belt.
“Popular business blogger, entrepreneur and author most recently of the bestselling TRIBES, Seth Godin’s new book (the title and subject are not being disclosed yet), again to Adrian Zackheim at Portfolio, for publication in early 2010, by Lisa DiMona at Lark Productions.”
I have to say I really like the Web, blogger, social media focus that Portfolio is at the forefront of publishing. Superb and savvy.
When I leave the Web completely I’ll be working on a book titled, “Un-Netted” but here are the problems I will have in getting it published:
1. No platform if I leave the Web
2. No expert thought leadership notability (if I leave the Web and this blog behind.)
3. No dutiful followers on Twitter, Facebook, and whatever will come next – because I will leave all them behind as well.
4. Book Expo America – nope, I’ll skip the trip to New York and the crowds. Just will be hanging around Austin, TX.
5. Social media friends – nope! Will have to learn how to sell the book to other PTO moms who haven’t seen me at a meeting in five years.
6. Online glamour pics and snarky commenting on other blogs – nope. Won’t miss it.
7. Climbing the social media clique wall – nope. Pretty much scaled it and found it littered with folks that weren’t even on the Web in 1996. Hmm, Seth was though.
8. Vanishing ego and all hope of fame. Priceless!
9. Taking your kids to school without twittering. Joyful. (ok, I probably can work on this one now and not Twitter as often.:>)
