Yes, the newspaper article I was commenting on dealt solely with the impact of titles on READERS, so that was the approach I took.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your further explication of how TV transformed the book production industry. I'm afraid I can think of one depressing analogy, if not a direct effect: Nowadays, new TV programs aren't given a fair chance to find their audience. Most often, if they don't grab ratings within a few episodes, they're summarily canceled. I fear authors may be victims of the same attitude, as far as the mass market publishers are concerned. Thank Heaven for small presses and e-pubs.Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-55050385191485138492008-07-30T22:20:00.000-04:002008-07-30T22:20:00.000-04:00Great piece.

I figured titles were changed for marketing reasons, but not to such an extent.Heather Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-51289328575127406452008-07-29T15:01:00.000-04:002008-07-29T15:01:00.000-04:00Awesome post, Jacqueline, as always.
