The Innovators
Innovation means more than doing something new. It means testing boundaries and questioning the status quo. It means looking beyond the industry for inspiration. And sometimes, it simply means doing what makes sense given the tools that are available. In the book industry, innovation means all of these things, and in particular, it means embracing the new digital landscape and the opportunities that come with it. All of the innovators interviewed in this section, whether from trade, academic, or independent publishing, have joined the digital revolution and are pushing the industry into a sustainable future, exploring new products and services, and adapting to disruption.
