Tim Berners-Lee's invention changed the world in general and the information world in particular. He changed publishing and changed the figure of the author. We could have used this invention well, but we also chose to use it badly. Thanks to the web, and all the new technology it has brought, the number of writers has increased dramatically, in an epidemic way we could say. The number of readers, perhaps, has decreased. So much so that some claim there are more writers than readers.
I believe that readers have decreased, because the web has led to speeding up reading, it has made people unaccustomed to reading , because it is precisely the use of content via the web that leads to this habit: reading on the screen or, worse, from a smartphone, not loves full-bodied, but short and concise content. Perhaps this is why someone thought of creating Special Data distilled books . The advent of digital typographies Online printers are born, what many call "paid publishers" and which they themselves define as publishing houses. Those who created the illusion of being writers and who did not produce any cornerstone of literature. The creation of electronic books or ebooks has changed the figure of the novelist again.
The concept of self-publishing has started to circulate , which has actually existed since well before the birth of the web (but I'll talk about this in a few days). There is no point in continuing the controversy over self-publishing, but no one can deny that the simple - and, at times, perhaps too simplistic - possibility of publishing a literary work has created a lot of rubbish, so much so that most people do not look kindly on self-published authors and continue to prefer books and ebooks produced by classic publishing. The novelist has today become an entrepreneur or, to put it in the English way, an unpronounceable and untranslatable authorpreneur , or author-entrepreneur. Today's novelist is also a blogger. He knows (or should know) the rudiments of editorial marketing and uses (or should use) the tools provided by technology to get ahead in the increasingly crowded world of current publishing.
