    Its Happening, continued

    Whether

    you're an

    e-booklover or

    hater,

    it's clear

    the books

    industry

    is changing. And one of the changes

    that cause writers the greatest stom-

    ach-drop is the sneaking suspicion

    that it's going to get harder and

    harder to actually make a living at

    writing. Bestselling author and pub-

    lishing expert Seth Godinsays writers are right to worry. In

    fact, he says writers have to give up

    on the idea that they can or should

    make a living directly from their

    writing and instead look at other

    ways to monetize their work.

    Hear Jian's conversation with SethGodin below and let us know what

    you think: as a reader or writer do

    you think it's time to embrace a new

    publishing model, or is the cultural

    cost too great to give up on the old

    model?
