YOU TUBE GREAT WAY TO PROMO BOOK PREVIEWS : Joyce Schwarz, author "The Vision Board" book Harper Collins, fall, 2008

EARLY PREVIEW VIDEO THE VISION BOARD BOOK by Joyce Schwarz, fall, 2008, www.ihavevision.org

There have been some questions lately among my twitter pals on www.twitter.com about the value of a promotional video or trailer or preview for upcoming books. Well, I'm all for it, Joyce Schwarz, author and emerging enertainment expert, www.joycecom.com. In fact look at the video I posted last January about my own book, "THE VISION BOARD" Harper Collins Publishing, fall, 2008. http://www.youtube.com/v/GosLxmQFPUE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param 

BLOGGER NOTE: As Amazon.com moves to a browser based format for it's UNBOX video rental system -- my prediction is that you'll see lots of videos about books, describing upcoming books and even DVD's packaged WITH books-- mainstream books -- not tech books or cooking books etc. BUT THEN I've been calling that 'info-tainment' since 1994 when I co-wrote the book "MULTIMEDIA: Gateway to the Next Millennium" which was an update of the MULTIMEDIA 2000 book written for the Natl. Assn. of Broadcasters. For more info email me at joycecom@aol.com

Want to see an early -- very early preview of the book THE VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz, Harper Collins Publishing, Collins Design-- catch this video created LAST YEAR -- yes, an oldie but goody -- we will be updating with new content as soon as the publisher gives us the okay.

See JPEGs above for screen capture of partial pix in author Paulo Coelho's virtual gallery of covers celebrating 100 million copies sold!

Dear readers,

I wish to make a virtual exhibition for the 100 Million Copies sold. And invite you to participate.Based on an idea that I saw in an exhibition in Aviles - dedicated to the 20th anniversary of my book The Alchemist - I would like to extend it to the virtual space and invite you to take part.

The idea of this physical exhibition that I saw in Aviles (and that will be reproduced in Milan this week) is the following: a reader would pose for a picture holding his/her favorite book of mine.

Please then take a picture of yourself holding your favorite book of mine and send to us.You should include in your email your name and country and send it to the following email address:

paulocoelhocovers@gmail.com (don’t worry about the quality).

CONGRATULATIONS -- now if I had not given away his books to a pal -- I would have one to take a pix of -- oh well, better that they be read again and again! js.

Author & Emerging Media Expert Joyce Schwarz to Speak on Redefining the Future, August 6 in San Jose @ Building Blocks Conference

Author and emerging media expert Joyce Schwarz To Speak on "Technology Redefining The Future" AT Building Blocks Conference Aug 6, San Jose

Joycebusinessphoto ...for more info read below and go to www.digitalhollywood.com and you'll see the complete schedule for Building Blocks which is produced by that brilliant impressario Victor Harwood who also produces Digital Holywood. Many of us in the biz call "Building Blocks" the Digital Hollywood North version.

Here are the details on the workshop session where Schwarz will be joining other top digital media rights gurus from such groups as: The Consumer Electronics Assn. and the ELECTRONIC FRONTIER Foundation.

Wednesday, August 6th
10:45 AM - Noon, BUILDING BLOCKS, San Jose (see www.digitalhollywood.com for more info) Track I: Technology Redefining the Future
The Digital Consumer: Digital Choice and Access to Digital Content - Balancing Consumer 
Rights with Technology, Regulation and Legal Principles

ABOUT THE SESSION:
Digital technology enables consumers to enjoy and interact with creative content across a wide array of platforms. Success in the digital age hinges on the ability to meet the demands of the digital consumer and embrace novel business models that capitalize on new products, markets, and distribution methods made possible by digital technology.

As Congress and the courts struggle to keep pace with rapidly advancing technology, the law has evolved to create a precarious balance between protecting the rights of copyright owners and meeting the demands of the digital consumer. Are changes to the law able to help harmonize these interests?

How could the power of new technologies be harnessed in a way that fairly rewards copyright owners yet delights consumers?

Is the law able serve to foster the creativity of Web 2.0 consumers and broaden the appeal of user-generated content? Is it possible to shape the law and regulation to drive technological advancement instead of stifling innovation?

FEATURED SPEAKERS:

Fred von Lohmann Senior Intellectual Property Attorney Electronic Frontier Foundation
Michael Petricone, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs, Consumer Electronics Association
Joyce Schwarz, JCOM Emerging Entertainment Marketing
