Authors, Video-Games and Movies


At HC we've just finished a piece of work in partnership with Nintendo - 100 Classic Book Collection for the DS handheld.

It's fairly straightforward - books on your gameboy - but with games becoming ever more complex - and targeting ever broader markets - what crossovers are there with the book world?

 

In short, how can authors and author brands move across into the world of video games? And does the expansion of digital television, web series etc offer more opportunities for brands that started in books to find eposure on the small screen? And if you're a publisher, how can you help facilitate / financially benefit from these new opportunities?

 

I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts and ideas...
