It even sounds sort of strange, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 Have you been into a video store recently?\u00a0 In our area, there isn\u2019t a record store in sight, but there\u2019s still a small Blockbuster a few miles from the house. We rarely use it because we subscribe to Netflix which, for a reasonable price, mails a couple of DVDs a month right to our house.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_defunct_retailers_of_the_United_States\">Wikipedia<\/a> has an extensive list of retailers who have gone bust recently, some who couldn\u2019t make it because of the faltering economy, others who were overcome by developing technology.\u00a0 Will bookstores follow suit and go the way of the Dodo bird?<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/2100-201_162-20080539.html \">Borders Books <\/a>went belly up last year, it followed in the tracks of some of my favorite stores \u2013\u00a0 Circuit City, Linens N Things, and Hollywood Video. Borders was a 40-year-old chain that popularized the big bookstore concept, and when it went bust, it left a lot of publishers holding the bag and ultimately left one main player in the bookstore chain game: Barnes and Noble. \u00a0For writers, this means that if your book doesn&#8217;t get picked up by B&amp;N \u2013 there\u2019s only so much space shelf, after all \u2013 it impacts your sales.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there was an interesting story about a 70-year-old writer, Kate Alcott, who wrote a novel called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Dressmaker-Novel-Kate-Alcott\/dp\/0385535589\">The Dressmaker.\u00a0 <\/a><\/em>The book was submitted to publishers by her agent,\u00a0 and was rejected about a dozen times, with references to the less than stellar sales of her previous book, which <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nielsen_BookScan \">Bookscan<\/a> dutifully reported. \u00a0 This outfit, Bookscan,\u00a0 is no writer\u2019s friend. Because of Alcott\u2019s Bookscan stats, her agent suggested submitting <em>The Dressmaker<\/em> to publishers under a pseudonym.\u00a0 And because the pseudonymous author had no Bookscan history, no sales history, it sold for\u00a0 high five figures.<\/p>\n<p>For quite a while, Alcott kept up the pretense with her publisher about her fake name, her fake life; her editor thought she was the fictional writer Alcott had created. Eventually, of course, the truth came out, it usually does, and friends who have read the novel love it.<\/p>\n<p>My point here, I think, is that writing, which is usually associated with the arts, is big business. It\u2019s Capitalism with some a giant C. The publishing industry, bookstores, and movie spinoffs on novels: they all begin with writers. Writers are the storytellers, the ones who used to be the oral historians, the ones who sat around campfires \u00a0in the stone age, who performed for royalty during the Renaissance, \u00a0who sit in front of computers now.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, writers are often the last to know what\u2019s going on. <em>What\u2019s the print run for my current book? Why is my cover awful? What\u2019s the publisher doing for my book?\u00a0 What do I need to do<\/em>? The exception here is simple: the bestsellers that makes the NY Times list.\u00a0 You know their names, they don\u2019t change much: King, Koontz, Roberts, Collins, Rowling\u2026 A roll call of the rich, the famous, and the best storytellers around.\u00a0 But all of them started at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine a world without physical bookstores, can\u2019t imagine not walking into such a place and <em>smelling the books,<\/em> <em>touching them, picking them up.\u00a0 <\/em>But I think the day is coming and that it\u2019s coming fast, when bookstores become extinct.\u00a0 Just as record stores are a memory for me now, I suspect bookstores will be such a memory not so far into the future. Maybe only libraries will have actual physical books. Digital books save a lot of trees, \u00a0you get them instantly. And more and more people are buying Kindle, Nooks, iPads, and bookstores and publishers are scrambling to catch up to\u2026well, whatever this is.<\/p>\n<p>Paradigm shift, anyone?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When was the last time you were in a record store?
