Nichts wirkt unmittelbarer auf den Menschen als der umgebende Raum. Architektur beeinflusst alles: Identifikation, unser Wohlbefinden, unsere Motivation, Arbeitsabläufe und Prozesse. Auf Basis dieser Überzeugung entwickelt und realisiert das international tätige Planungs- und Beratungsunternehmen CSMM zukunftsweisende Konzepte für Gebäude und Innenräume – zur Steigerung der Innovationskraft und Produktivität ihrer Auftraggeber. Gerade ist ihr zweites Bookazine mit dem Titel „Re:build the Future“ erschienen, in dem CSMM den Blick auf eine visionäre Gestaltung unserer Bausubstanz im Kontext des Klimaschutzes aufzeigt. Unter verschiedenen Themenschwerpunkten setzen sich die ArchitekturgestalterInnen mit Herausforderungen unserer Gesellschaft auseinander, die neue Ansprüche an ihre gebauten Lebensräume stellt. Über die Frage, warum das ausgerecht in den trendgetriebenen Bürowelten so gravierend ausfällt und welche Hebel hier am sinnvollsten einsetzbar sind, darüber sprechen wir heute mit Malte Tschörtner & Timo Brehme von CSMM in unserem Podcast.

Magazines have fallen on hard times – especially the weekly news, fashion, and celebrity mags that once dominated newsstands. The revenue from magazine racks has plummeted in recent years, and many magazines have stopped appearing in print or shut down altogether. And yet, there is something growing in the checkout aisle: one-off publications, each devoted to a single topic, known as “bookazines.” Last year, over 1,200 different bookazines went on sale across the country. They cover topics ranging from Taylor Swift, Star Wars, the Kennedy assassination, K-pop, the British royal family, and as host Willa Paskin recently observed, the career of retired movie star Robert Redford. In today's episode, Willa looks behind the racks to investigate this new-ish format. Who is writing, publishing, and reading all these one-off magazines – and why? Is the bookazine a way forward for magazines, or their last gasp? Voices you'll hear in this episode include Caragh Donley, longtime magazine journalist turned prolific writer of bookazines; Eric Szegda, executive at bookazine publisher a360 media; and Erik Radvon, comic book creator and bookazine fan. This episode was produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, who produce the show with Katie Shepherd. Derek John is Executive Producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.

Christian Schiffer ist Journalist, Radiomoderator und war bis vor einigen Monaten Erdenker und Herausgeber der WASD, einem Bookazine über Gameskultur. Das gibt es mittlerweile nicht mehr - aber nun ist der geistige Nachfolger am Start: WASTED, ein spielejournalistisches Online-Portal, das sich gleichermaßen um Spiele wie um die eigene Community drehen soll. Im Gespräch mit Dom Schott erzählt Christian Schiffer von seinen Plänen für das neue Projekt, wie die Formatentwicklung ausgesehen hat - und warum er sich all die Arbeit überhaupt macht.
Gary Weitzman, President & CFO of the San Diego Humane Society, discusses his latest bookazine “The Pet Lovers Guide” published by National Geographic ... his ninth book with the venerable publication. Weitzman gives important tips to pet parents to ease their pets into post-pandemic life. Weitzman talks about the waiving of late fees for dog licenses during June, as well as the organization's upcoming annual “Fur Ball” event.
Mit der WASD haben der Journalist Christian Schiffer (Bayerischer Rundfunk) und seine Mitstreiter Markus Weißenhorn und Ina Weißenhorn im Juni 2012 ein ganz besonderes Spielemagazin ins Leben gerufen: Das selbsternannte "Bookazine für Gameskultur" sieht dank seines taschenbuchähnlichen Formats nicht nur ganz anders aus als klassische Spielezeitschriften, auch inhaltlich bietet es mit seinem Fokus auf ungewöhnliche Schwerpunktthemen wohltuende Abwechslung vom Spielejournalismus-Einheitsbrei. Ob in Form von Essays, Meinungsartikeln, Reportagen oder experimentellen Texten – in der halbjährlich veröffentlichten WASD finden LeserInnen auf etwa 200 stilvoll gestalteten Seiten alles, nur keine News, Reviews, Testtabellen oder Tipps-und-Tricks-Strecken. Die in Kürze erscheinende WASD 18 ist nun allerdings die vorerst letzte Ausgabe. Für Benedikt und Sönke ein guter Anlass, um mit Stargast Christian Schiffer ausführlich über sein Baby zu sprechen und auch darüber, warum er sich davon erst einmal verabschiedet. Christian skizziert unter anderem die Entstehungsgeschichte des Magazins, erinnert sich an Höhen und Tiefen während der Produktion, gedenkt seinen Lieblingsartikeln, packt allerlei Anekdoten aus und gibt einen Ausblick auf die finale Ausgabe. Und wie jeder Games-Insider-Gast muss auch der langjährige WASD-Chefredakteur unser beliebtes Assoziationsspiel absolvieren, in dem wir ihn und seine weiteren Projekte näher kennenlernen dürfen. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Benedikt, Sönke & Christian Unterstützt unsere Arbeit und erhaltet exklusive Bonus-Podcasts: https://www.patreon.com/gamesinsider oder https://steadyhq.com/gamesinsider
Guy Shirra moved to Hong Kong from England and served as an officer for the Royal Hong Kong Police force from 1967 until the Handover in 1997. His stories are surreal and there were far too many for us to fully cover. He talked about terrorism from across the border in the '60s, corruption, opium raids in the Kowloon walled city, and the catastrophic Po Shan Road landslide at which he was an early responder. Guy's fantastic autobiography The Accidental Prawn is available on Kindle here. Hard copies are available at Bookazine, Jelly & Walsh and the HK Book Centre, or by emailing guyshirra@gmail.com. Join us on Patreon for a bonus ep every Thursday and other killer content. This week Guy talked about a horrific arson attack in Tsim Sha Tsui, and other crazy stories from walking the beat: https://www.patreon.com/hohopod

Over the years, many of the greats have come through Super Garf's doors — names like Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, LeBron James and on and on. They also have worn the famed orange Five-Star shirts and Shorts.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark and it’s Friend Friday. I’m back today with Tony Romando, who heads up a company called Topix Media Lab that is very big in the world of bookazines. If you don’t know what a bookazine is, it’s that hybrid of a book and a magazine that you usually see near the magazine rack at a newsstand or a bookstore. It’s an interesting product, meant to come out in a very timely manner, like a magazine, but to be kept forever, like a book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

100 jó arc, akit nem árt, ha ismersz (a hamadik 25) Sorozatunk harmadik kötete újabb 25 arcot tartalmaz, akik nemcsak azért „határtalanok”, mert képzelőerejük és talentumuk nem ismert határokat, hanem azért is, mert sokan közülük nem a Kárpát-medencében csináltak karriert. Olvashatunk ezúttal 5 zenei fenoménről, 5 mozgóképes géniuszról, 5 polihisztorról, 5 irodalmi nagyságról és 5 nyelvújítóról, akik – minden túlzás nélkül – új korszakokat nyitottak, magyar és nem magyar emberek millióinak változtatták meg az életét, sorsát, gondolkodását, és ezreket ösztönöztek nagy tettek végrehajtására, vagy egyszerűen csak szórakoztatták őket. Híres magyarjaink életének, alkotásainak kicsit alaposabb ismerete ma már az általános műveltség része.

450 éve, 1566-ban Szigetváron, Magyarországot újra elérte a dzsihád. Az ellenállás szimbóluma Zrínyi Miklós lett. Az emlékévre megjelent a Hetek új bookazine-ja: 1566 - Dzsihád Magyarország ellen. Szigetvár ostroma, ahogy még sosem láttad! Megrendelhető: http://www.hetek.hu/konyvek 450 éve, 1566-ban történt, hogy a törökkel vívott teljesen egyenlőtlen ostromharcban – az egész Dél-Dunántúl védelme szempontjából központi jelentőségű – Szigetvár elbukott. Ám Zrínyi Miklós és a vár védőinek hősies helytállása és önfeláldozása a kereszténység és a haza védelmében Európa-szerte legendává lett. A Hetek kiadói műhelye nem kisebb feladatra vállalkozott, mint hogy jubileumi kiadványával, Zrínyi emléke előtt tisztelegve a török hódoltság és a törökellenes harcok több mint 150 éves időszakát a megszokottól eltérően, újszerűen ragadja meg és láttassa, elsősorban a fiatal olvasóval. A könnyebb megértést, belátást segítik a kiadványban található térképek, metszetek, tematikus kislexikonok, 10 pontos érvgyűjtemények és a hármasfókuszú időegyenes. A bookazine szerves részét képezi a több mint húsz oldalas, a szigetvári ostrom lefolyásáról és hőseiről szóló KÉPREGÉNY, amelyet a Bornemisza Péter Gimnázium diákjai írtak és rajzoltak.
Welcome to this addition of the Real Fast Results podcast! In many cases, this show provides information on how you can take digital assets and use them to pull in more revenue and build a bigger following for yourself. What you are going to learn today is going to feel counter-intuitive. Let’s see what guest Amy Collins has to share… Today's Promise: Discover How Your eBooks and Print Books Make Money In The Library Market Today we are going to discuss how your eBook and your print book can make you a great deal of money in the library market. It is counter-intuitive because people think that libraries are old fashioned and places people used to go. Not true. Libraries are where it’s at, and we can make a lot of money there. The Book Industry Study Group put out a study with Nielsen BookScan recently saying that avid readers, which is the type of consumers that book authors and publishers want to go for, avid readers visit libraries. Also, their households buy, on average, nine books a month. They're in libraries and they are buying nine books a month, on average; a lot of them buy more. With that, combined with the fact that a lot of libraries are in the United States, it’s the perfect place to focus your marketing and your sales efforts. Step 1 - Make Sure Your Book Belongs In A Library The first “Big Picture” step is to make sure that your book belongs in a library. If you’ve written a mystery novel, a sci-fi novel, a cookbook, a self-help book, a business book, you belong in libraries. If you’ve written a journal, a coloring book, a word search, those probably aren’t good library books because libraries can’t take what we call consumables. Make sure that you have the kind of book that belongs in a library, and make sure it’s priced right. Is every other book in your genre $17.99 and yours is $24.99? Get your book in line with your competition. The next step, after that, is to get your book into the wholesalers. Step 2 - Get Your Book Into the Wholesalers Libraries buy from wholesalers. Wholesalers are just big warehouses that will buy books from you, the author or publisher and turn around to resell them to libraries. The next step is to present your book to the librarians so that they can order the book from the wholesalers. My favorite step, the one after that, is when wholesalers pay you because the libraries have paid them, and then the libraries start reordering your book. So, make sure your book is ready for the library and that it belongs there, get your book into the wholesalers, the appropriate wholesalers. Pitch your book to the librarians, get them to put it on the shelves. Then wait for the sales to come rolling in. If your book does well in one library, other librarians are going to hear about it, and they are going to start ordering your book too. That’s the really cool thing about this because there is a sort of viral nature to the buying of books within the library system. Selling eBooks to Libraries My favorite thing about selling eBooks to libraries is that you get to charge a lot of money for them. You may sell your eBook on Amazon for $8, $9, or maybe even $10. You can sell that same $9 eBook to a library for $30 or $40 because they are going to loan it out. They are going to loan your book out, over and over again, to their patrons, but only one at a time. I’m an avid reader in my library, and I’m always waiting for the next book. If the waiting list gets too long, they will license another eBook from you. So, all of the sudden, what was a $35 eBook becomes a $70 sale, all because your book did so well. Eventually, if you sell enough copies of your eBook, you then have the demand you need to start licensing them. That means you sell them, in essence, the right to loan out your eBook for one year, or for a certain number of loans. That means every year, you get more money because those loans are re-upped, those licenses are renewed. And yes, if you get your book into one library in Los Angeles, which has a $25 million dollar a year budget, and the other dozens and dozens of Los Angeles libraries can see how well your book is doing, they’re going to start ordering it. But, what if they see that you have an eBook? What if you told them that you have an eBook? All it takes is a simple email, and all of the sudden, you’ve doubled your sales. In some cases, you have tripled and quadrupled them. How To Make Your Book Library Ready I know these steps intimately because we cover them in our course. I mean, these are the steps that we actually walk through in the course. However, when I said to make sure that your book is ready for libraries, there’s an entire list of things that your book should have. One of them is a catalogue and publication block. This is a block of information, of data, codes, numbers, and categories that all go into a small space that sits on the back of your title page, also known as the copyright page. If you would like to get into libraries, this chunk of data is very helpful because it shows the librarians that you mean business. That you understand their business and what they need from you in order to get your book into their system. When we say, “Make sure your book is ready,” there’s a long checklist of things you may not have actually heard of, and our course covers that. It’s the catalogue and publication block. We teach you how to price your book. What’s the right trim size? We’ve got an enormous discussion going on right now among all of our students about why 6x9 is not a great trim size for most books, not all, but for most. What you do is you get your book ready. If your book’s already printed and ready to go, you compare it to what the marketplace needs. You’ll learn these things in our course. When your book’s ready to go, registering with the wholesalers is as simple as writing a cover letter, sending them a copy of your book, with a marketing plan. Wholesalers want to know that you’re going to create demand. Are you going to be calling 40 libraries a week? Well, then tell them that. Are you going to be doing radio interviews or podcasts? Are you going to be writing guest posts as a blogger? If you tell the wholesaler what your marketing plan is, you have a much better chance of getting in there. The wholesalers are going to ask for a very deep discount. In some cases, this will be 50-60% off the price of your book. And, they are going to want to buy the returnable. If a wholesaler, such as Ingram Wholesale, Baker and Taylor Wholesale, Broder Wholesale, Bookazine buy 40 copies of your book, and only 20 sell, they are going to send you the other 20 back. So, you’re in the wholesalers now, you’ve agreed to their terms, they’ve ordered a few copies, and now it’s time to write your cover letter for the libraries. The cover letter does not focus on how wonderful you are or how terrific your book is. Although you probably are wonderful and your book is great, your letter is focused on what the librarians want to hear and what they need to know. What they need to know is that you understand their goals. If you approach a librarian and say, “Hey, I understand your goals, I know how hard your job is, and I’m here to make it easier,” you are so in. You want to create a cover letter, or start a communication email chain with them that says, “I know you want to create foot traffic. I know that you only want to bring in books that you need, the category is right for you, that your patrons are looking for. My book is exactly the kind of book that your patrons are looking for. How do I know that? Well, because I took this course and Amy told me that self-help books were #3 for non-fiction and cookbooks were #1. Well, my book is a self-help cookbook, so you clearly need my book. It’s priced perfectly, it’s got a category and publication block. It’s available at the following wholesalers. I also have an eBook available at the following eBook wholesalers.” I’ve been mentioning the print book wholesalers, but don’t forget the eBook wholesalers, like Overdrive and 3M. IngramSpark has a good one, or you can even use some of the eBook distributors like Bookbaby or Smashwords. So, once you’re in and once you’ve created that cover letter, and you start sending it out to emails, I suggest spending 15-20 minutes a day…that’s it…5 days a week, 20 minutes a day, for about 90 days, should really get you going, sending out this cover letter and tweaking it for each librarian. Example Cover Letter “Dear Susan, My name is Amy. I’ve written a book about the publishing industry. I’m hoping that you will consider stocking it on your shelves.” And then, you go on from there, “Here’s my marketing plan. Here’s what I know about your library. I would love to send you a copy as a PDF for you to review. May I send you a copy?” Just start with that. Communication With Librarians Librarians are lovely. They are so nice. They are going to start communicating with you. As we get into the nitty-gritty on exactly how to do this, there’s also a long list of things not to do. You do not pick up the phone and call a librarian at noon on Saturday and expect them to give you half an hour. They aren’t going to. They are going to be annoyed; they’re busy. You do not call a school library and ask them to spend $400 on your book. They don’t know you, and they don’t have that kind of budget. School libraries are different than public libraries; they depend a lot on donations. If you really want to be focused on the school library market, that’s a slightly different cover letter. Again, we cover a lot of that in our course. What you want to do is to keep going after the libraries that want your book. You may hit a spade of libraries that aren’t interested because the category isn’t right for them. Yes, you have a self-help cookbook, and yes, that’s a huge market for libraries right now, in the print book world and the eBook world. But, what if that particular library system is just stuffed with self-help cookbooks? What if they don’t need anymore? That’s okay. There’s almost 13,000 public libraries in the United States. Go find others. Just start sending out your emails. Twenty minutes a day. You will eventually start enough conversations, and those orders will start coming in. Eventually, you will start seeing residual and viral sales. Things will start to snowball. Things will start to grow. Tips On Getting Into the Library Market For those of you who would love to hit the library market, but you don’t have the time--I’ve always said, “When you need to sell a book…time, money, talent…pick any two.” If you’ve got time and money, but no talent, you can still be very successful. If you’ve got money and talent, but no time, you’re golden. If you don't have enough time, but you have a great book, you might want to consider using some of our advice and hiring someone to do this for you. Examples: a local college kid, your nephew, your grandson, etc. It should be someone that’s email friendly. You can hire a virtual assistant. I take out ads on Craigslist all the time. There are ways to hire somebody else to do this for you in a way that still is very profitable. Libraries are profitable enough that if you don’t have that 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, maybe somebody else does. You should consider training someone how to do it. It is very transferable.

Wenn alles gut läuft, heißt es im April „SHIFT happens“. SHIFT soll eine Zeitschrift im iPad-Fomat werden - ein sogenanntes Bookazine - halb Buch halb Magazin. Darin soll ein Mix aus Debatten, Unterhaltung und Gesellschaftsthemen stattfinden. Im Kern steht dabei das Thema Veränderung: Veränderung in der Gesellschaft, im Miteinander oder auch in Lebenszielen. Jede Ausgabe soll ein Themenschwerpunkt haben, an dem sich die einzelnen Beiträge orientieren werden. „Eigentlich möchte ich SHIFT gar nicht machen - eigentlich will ich SHIFT einfach nur lesen.“ schmunzelt Daniel Höly der Initiator von SHIFT. Da es aber aus seiner Sicht derzeitig kein gesellschaftspolitisches Magazin für Leute zwischen 20 und 35 gibt, wird er es eben selbst auf die Beine stellen. Mit der Unterstützung der Crowd. Ich spreche mit ihm über Veränderungen, Offenheit und Gedrucktes.
