I have seen many references in these daily project ideas to Digital Embellishments - Elements, but I cannot find such a product. Was it a Limited Edition that I somehow missed? or is it called something else on the Products list? Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Hi Peggy, Here is the link to purchase the Digital Embellishments - Elements from the Digital Content Download section of the Creative Memories website.

Interesting that "Elements" does not appear on the Consultant website under Digital Products -- that is where I have been looking. I wonder what else I have been missing that may be only on our personal websites. HMMM, will have to go check.

their June 2010 royalty stneametts indicate 40-60% eBook sales. This is across a variety of genres and releases hardcover, mass market, trade paperback. I don't think that went down for end of year 2010 stneametts. Amazon now sells more eBooks than print. Borders is going down. A large print distributor in Canada just went bankrupt.Let's get real. Both Thomas Nelson and Writers Digest have now partnered with Author Solutions to become vanity publishers and make money off writers. That's as big an indicator of how much trouble the "in-between" people are in as anything. By that I mean authors produce the product, readers consume the product. Everyone else is in-between. And scared. My motto from my Infantry days is Lead, Follow, or Get The Hell Out Of The Way.I agree that publishers will have to show their value. Teaming with Author Solutions isn't a solution. It's a sign of desperation.Agents are already walking the line between trying to sell traditionally and becoming publishers, particularly of backlist for their authors. Inherent conflict of interest that's not going away.I'll be bolder than Shatzkin and say by the end of this year, 2011, people will finally admit that eBook sales are over 50% of the market.Hell, the NY Times, finally publishing an ebook bestseller list this Sunday, is as clueless as everyone else. Look at the numbers for Susan Wiggs.Music was a 12 billion dollar a year business in 2000. The industry experts ignored Napster and digital too long. It's a 6 billion dollar a year business now. Oops. That's only for the in-between people. The artists are thriving on their own. If they have great content and are willing to work at promoting. That is the future publishing for authors. At Who Dares Wins Publishing we just accepted the future by cutting our pricing for fiction ebooks 50%. Which still nets us more per book than mass market paperback from a traditional publisher.The true industry experts in publishing are writers and readers, not the people who have an outdated business model focused on selling to retailers, rather than readers, and whose retailer outlet has changed dramatically.Write It Forward!

Excellent distillation, Jane.These ptinos signal what I believe the leading edge of the discussion for authors now becomes: we're simply "beyond the book" (already!) and we writers need to explore development options and distribution potentials to conceptualize our projects fully. Defining and serving our readership markets can depend on finding the right agents whose perspectives are up-to-date and ready to run with the hurly-burly of technology as well as creativity.For my money, your WDC11 sessions, like Dan Blank's (@WeGrowMedia) and Guy Gonzalez's (@DigiBookWorld) were among the strongest at the conference, getting at publishing options, platforming, transmedia, and industry directions we need to follow.I'll second your nod to DigitalBookWorld.com, a sister outfit to Writer's Digest headed by Guy. Writers can join DBW, as well as WD, and I've found my DBW membership to be really helpful in getting my head around what key industry players are debating.Thanks for the good focus in this post!
