What Can Publishers Learn from Digital Comic Books?
The Bluewater Saga
Smaller, entrepreneurial publishers are more than happy to share their digital techniques. Darren Davis has been publishing comics since 1999, and founded Vancouver, Washington-based Bluewater Productions in 2006. From being an independent publisher of print titles, Bluewater has evolved into a diverse multimedia company, including on-demand web-to-print for short runs and even single titles, digital editions, interactive apps, digital audiobooks, and DVDs.
John Parsons (john@intuideas.com), former Editorial Director of The Seybold Report, is an independent writer, ghostwriter, and editor. He is the co-author of the interactive printed textbook, Introduction to Graphic Communication, on the art, science and business of print, which has been adopted by Ryerson, Arizona State, the University of Houston, and many other schools and vocational training centers. Custom editions of the book are under consideration by major printing companies and franchises for internal training purposes.
