Hugh Forrest serves as Chief Programming Officer for South by Southwest (SXSW). Held annually in Austin, Texas, this event brings together more than 70,000 industry creatives from across the United States, around the world. These creatives are inspired by nine days of panels, presentations, brainstorming, networking, deal-making, socializing, creating, innovating, and fun. The worlds of film, gaming, music, comedy, science and technology collide at SXSW. Year on year, the conference consistently draws big names as keynote speakers, and creates hundreds of millions of dollars of economic impact. Hugh is responsible for listening to the feedback of 50,000 people - the attendees of each year's event - and distilling 5,000 ideas into 10 days of action. SXSW places enormous value on listening to the event attendees, sponsors, staff and the community as a whole. Hugh says without this, you lose your relevancy. Over the course of six weeks, each year Hugh and his team sift through feedback. It gives a fuller picture of the event, as an organiser there are things that didn't go well that you had no idea about. It can be exhausting, especially when the criticisms are sharp. But it is this which helps you get better. SXSW has a unique voting system to facilitate interaction with the community, the panel picker ensures that anyone with an internet connection can submit a speaking proposal. It also allows users to voting on topics, giving Hugh an idea of what people are really interested in. It's not just learning and listening from the audience that is crucial - Hugh and his team initiate a dialogue with those who've provided feedback - replying to emails, having a coffee with their attendees. Some of the best advocates for the conference previously had a complaint, but were addressed by Hugh's team and made positive.

At a recent visit to Kobo's home office in Toronto, Hugh Howey was interviewed by KWL Director Mark Lefebvre in front of an audience of about 150 people (60 of which were local Kobo Writing Life authors) for a Kobo in Conversation video.  Here are some highlights from the discussion.             Introduction of Hugh Howey and Mark Lefebvre by Tracy Nesdoly, Senior Director of Communications at Kobo           Hugh talks about how interesting it is that history re-writes itself to fit the model of what people think happened – his first book was actually signed to a small press before he made the decision to try the self-publishing route           Hugh also reflects on how, in 2009, he was only concentrating on print books and traditional contracts for the first book, but then noticed his eBook sales were overtaking his print book sales           How Hugh was pressured by friends and family to get his book out to publishers so they could see it in bookstores           How Hugh's Mom had been a great critic, early reader and editor for his work (and Hugh's joke about how his wife and his mother have spent years telling him about all the mistakes that he makes, which ensures they are perfectly suited for this type of role in his writing)           The twenty years it took Hugh to complete the first novel (and how it wasn't the same novel)           Hugh's first manuscript, started at age 12, which was, essentially an homage to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy           How Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue, the first novel he completed, was written in a week           How Hugh acquired “sequelitis” after finishing that first novel, and how, when you keep writing sequels you're left always promoting your first book           How Hugh met his wife when he was living the boating life (and how she pulled him ashore and inland)           The constant daydreaming and stories kept in his head while he worked at various other jobs           How he used to get in trouble in grammar school for that “writing daydreaming”           Where the darkness that surrounds the novel WOOL comes from (particularly from a writer whose persona is friendly, outgoing and positive)           How Hugh felt sick to his stomach when he was out at a fancy restaurant to celebrate signing the contract for his first book because it was something he had worked so hard on and he was now signing it away (despite the fact it was a positive experience because someone was paying him for something he had written – ie, it was “the dream”)           Even though he still has a physical reaction thinking about that moment, it wasn't a reflection on the publisher – he still loves them and has a great relationship with them, but he quickly saw how he had too much energy for them and was driving them crazy with all of the things he wanted to do           Hugh reminds people that, despite it looked like he knew what he was doing all along, he was terrified, clueless and making it up as he went along           A look at www.authorearnings.com and Hugh's motivation for always putting the reader and the writer first           How, bookstores come third on Hugh's list of priorities – writers first (because without them you couldn't have readers), then readers second           Hugh asks the question of why we're not focusing on the right things, like how to make people love books more – such as these things shaped like books that we give to students in classrooms and inadvertently team them to hate.  (If it's shaped like a book, it better be fun)           How writers are always looking for excuses not to write, and how Hugh has to channel his fear of what might happen if he stops writing into looking towards working on projects that his readers and editors want           Hugh's favourite novel I, Zombie, his most non-commercial work which represents his attempt to write about 911, and his favourite writing, which is the book Peace in Amber (a book he still gets emotional about when he speaks of it)           The manner by which Hugh took the opposite tack of anything that might seem logical, such as not telling people he was a writer and had a book available           Hugh's discomfort at promoting his own work and how he would rather just work on writing the next book           Social media as being a great place to connect with your existing fans rather than trying to use it to find new ones           The important role that agents have played in Hugh's career, particularly since initially, it wasn't something that he thought he needed. Hugh shares his respect for his agent Kristen Nelson Literary Agency and the amazing agents and partners who have guided his success and earned every penny along the way           Hugh's desire to see editors, cover artists, beta readers and all those unsung heroes whose efforts make books better, known and loved and celebrated (Example is an interview Hugh recently did with one of his cover artists, Jason Smith – [link to his blog post])           How Agencies might, in the future, look like law firms. Imagine Freethy, Andre and Howey.           The importance to not run from labels, like “self-published author” – Hugh is proud to call himself a self-published author How H.M. Ward continues to turn down multiple 7 figure offers from publishers because their marketing plans aren't offering anything she hasn't already built for herself The role that NaNoWriMo has played in Hugh's writing (and his thoughts on how an author who writes one novel a year might just be writing that novel in a single month) As a postscript to the interview, Mark then calls out some of the key points that Hugh made during the conversation; in particular Hugh's take on marketing and how writing your next book or focusing on sharing information ABOUT writing it is far better than trying to push your book in front of everybody's face.

SXSW Interactive has grown astronomically because of social media and start-ups. More importantly, they are connected to a vibrant, rich, passionate, intelligent, and engaged community. "The more you can engage the community and work with the community, and reflect the passion, interests, and energy of the community, the stronger the event you can make."

"Bigger is not necessarily better." How Hugh deals with the stress of his job. Good points here for you too. Conference building is a lot like doing a start-up. "Try not get too high when good things happen. Try not to get too low when bad things happen." Tips for breaking out of your regular groups and meeting new people at events. "...if you're an expert on sports and new media, you should go to something completely out of your wheelhouse. That's where you'll get the most value.

The History of the Button presentation by Bill DeRouchey. "Choose things that are a little bit different and outside of your realm." "It's about making connections that can take your career to the next level." Hugh built SXSW's first database on his Macintosh Plus using Reflex. Remember Reflex? Hugh tends to be more active on Twitter than Facebook. Say hello by tweeting to him @Hugh_W_Forrest. He encourages his staff to engage with the people who have positive things to say about SXSW. He puts even more emphasis on engaging and reacting to people who may not have had a great experience. There's often more to learn from these people. You can often turn that critic into a cheerleader. Twitter was born at SXSW in 2007, Foursquare in 2009. What are the next trends? What's coming? Hugh shares his thoughts. Hugh talks about the DIY maker movement. 2014 sessions will be about wearable-computing and Internet of Things. Check out Narrative, the clip-on camera to document your life.

Camille Mofidi, European Manager for Kobo Writing Life interviewed three authors that Kobo sponsored for the 2013 Frankfurt Book Fair Author Walk of Fame:  Emily Bold, Kristie Cook and Hugh Howey. This is the third in the series of three interviews and features international bestselling author Hugh Howey.  In the interview, Camille and Hugh discuss: Hugh's start into writing, the multi-faceted journey his life took, including being a ship's captain How Hugh was working as a bookseller when he started on the path of writing a book, publishing it, and then moving on to the next project writing the next book Hugh's perspective on the importance of joining a writing group; in particular the group he joined (the High Country Writers) The critical role that revisions of that first draft play for a writer, whether you are self-publishing or want to send it to an agent or publisher The role being a bookseller played in helping to inform Hugh about the realities of the publishing industry Hugh's belief that we should celebrate the fact that there are so many people out there able and willing to express themselves through literature like they do all other art forms How Europe, often seen to be lagging behind the North American trends is, in Hugh's opinion, actually progressing quite a bit more quickly than the U.S. in terms of accepting self-publishing The meetups that Hugh participates in when he is traveling, as a way to connect directly with readers How Hugh uses social media to make himself available and to interact with his readers and friends How Kobo Writing Life has been a major avenue to international readers for Hugh's eBooks How Hugh sees the KWL interface as the cleanest and most user-friendly platform, presenting data in an interesting format, and how he tells the other platforms they should be copying what Kobo is doing Hugh's 7 week tour through Europe promoting the book, and his embrace of a hybrid approach (Hugh sold the print only rights to WOOL to Simon & Schuster) The incredible innovation that several of Hugh's publishers have demonstrated in promoting WOOL   Mark Lefebvre, Director of Kobo Writing Life, discusses a point that Hugh makes in the interview regarding patience and the strategy of continuing to work on your next book (rather than focusing all your time and attention worrying about your already published title or titles) -- he also references a recent blog post by Dean Wesley Smith entitled "The New World of Publishing: Some Perspectives of 2013" in which Smith notes the importance of building a career over decades rather than giving up after a few books and very little sales (or, as the case used to be with publishing, quitting after 50 rejections)     Other Links: Hugh's website Hugh's books at Kobo The WOOL trilogy (WOOL, SHIFT & DUST)
