Whether you know it as "Social Media" or "Web 2.0" you know it's changing the publishing and entertainment business in dramatic ways. Let us show you how to become a social media-savvy publisher, author, screenwriter, filmmaker, or playwrite and start connecting your content to an empowered, virally-charged audience.

If you want your content to resonate and your connections to buzz, we can help. In fact, we're the place to start!

Creating Content that Connects

Our social media-infused process helps publishers, authors and creators of any kind of content make powerful connections with their audience. We’ve got the tools and methodology to help you create and expand those connections while making your content stronger and more viral at the same time.

Once you take away the fancy technology and the jargon surrounding social media, it’s really just about relationships. Whatever you’re writing or producing, you have an audience. Your audience can be a powerful ally in making your content better and in getting the word out to others. It’s a pretty simple formula that we encourage you to follow:

  • Communicate
  • Collaborate
  • Educate 
  • Entertain 
  • Engage

Content Connections can be as much help as you need in the publishing process—we can be your total solution or a key part of it. We can make a difference at the beginning, the middle, and even toward the end. Our proven ACCESS model reduces the guesswork and delivers powerful metrics to help you make decisions that could mean the world to your content.

It’s about content. It’s about connections. We have the tools and expertise to help you with both.

Leveraging the Wisdom of Your Crowd: Five Things Every Author Can Do to Maximize a Book's Impact

Phoenix, Arizona, June 6, 2008: The next generation of the World Wide Web, known as Web 2.0 or Social Media, offers authors and publishers unprecedented ways to reach potential book buyers (or adopters). While many publishers are focusing on ways to use social media to "sell" more books to more customers, savvy authors are discovering that the best way to sell a book is to involve more people in the collaborative development of the book's content.

Former editor and publisher David Brake will conduct a general session Friday, June 20, 10:30 AM, at the Text and Academic Authoring Conference to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 19 - 21 entitled Leveraging the Wisdom of Your Crowd: Five Things Every Author Can Do to Maximize a Book's Impact. The session will highlight how authors and publishers can convert readers into "co-producers" of content by involving them in a process Brake calls the ACCESS model. In this interactive session, he will highlight five things every author can do to leverage the collaborative power of your book's ideal audience. Session participants will receive sample templates for implementing the suggested strategies, plus a handy guide written especially for authors—A Quick Business Plan for Your Book.
