The Disruptive Role of User-generated Content Sharing Behaviour in the Publishing Industry
Social media are not only changing the way we talk about books, they are redefining the very destiny of the publishing industry. This monograph addresses a central and still relatively misunderstood phenomenon: the active role of consumer sharing as a force capable of reviving a sector that has long been in decline. Through the case of literary communities on social media, the volume shows how the act of sharing stories, emotions, and reading recommendations can generate new markets, reignite interest in reading, and reshape the strategies of publishers and authors. A book designed for those who want to understand why power is no longer solely in the hands of publishers, but also in those of readers.
