Publishers Weekly reports that Harper Collins has unveiled plans to launch its own in-house production arm. The studio, which will make internet video, will be, according to the house, "modeled on a newsroom environment." Because most videos will be done in a Q&A style, the shoots will be "conducted on a traditional 'set,' similar to a piece you would watch on a news or entertainment talk show." The studio is planning to make approximately 500 videos annually.
I've just made a little 60-second video to promote my "Your Writing Coach" book (you can see it below--it starts with glimpses of a few places near my home in London). This is just the promo, my next step will be to make some longer videos that also contain useful content as well as a plug for the book.
