J.A. Konrath wrote an article for the Huffington Post about how he and three other horror novelists (Blake Crouch, Jeff Strand, and F. Paul Wilson) wrote a book together and published through Amazon, bypassing the traditional print media, charging significantly less per copy ($2.99), and still receiving at least as much (or more) in royalties.
The book is Draculas, and its website is here, with a list of special features that is more impressive than some DVDs offer.
The trends in self-publishing in new media may not apply directly or immediately to film-making, if only because it costs much more to make a movie than to write a book, but some of the processes Konrath discusses may be important to the future of all media, and certainly should be of interest to new writers.
