In the summer of 2008 I was invited to Dallas, TX, for Portus 2008, a Harry Potter symposium by HPEF. Below is part of my presentation as the Saturday Keynote Luncheon speaker. Portus special guests also included Jim Dale, Dr. Henry Jenkins, and Edmund M. Kern. It was a great time!
My talk was specifically on podcasting in the Harry Potter community, but before talking about that, I wanted to talk about how the changes in how we interact, particularly online, over the 10-course of the Harry Potter series really changed what was possible in terms of fan connections and hype.
On LSB030 Haig Armen of Lift Studios and I sat down to talk about the common challenges that publishers face, the future of the book and how to augment the reading experience.

5 Steps to Increasing Traffic to Your Website: An astonishing number of people are leaving money on the table because their websites are invisible in search results. They spend a lot of money building a site but don’t pay attention to ensuring their site appears in search results. Watch this segment from G4techTV Canada.
Join Monique Trottier of Boxcar Marketing and other tech-savvy panelists for an informative workshop on web content management, put on by SFU Summer Publishing Workshops.
The workshop runs August 4 - 6 at SFU Harbourcentre. The cost for all three days is $500.
From the SFU Summer Publishing Workshop website:
“We’ll introduce you to web content management tools and what they offer. We’ll talk about book content, magazine copy, marketing messages, images and other media, and of course the web itself and the audience connections it makes possible. We’ll cover software and techniques; when it’s appropriate to manage content yourself and when it’s appropriate to contract an external Digital Asset Manager. Most importantly, we’ll focus on how to do all of this without breaking the bank.”
Monique will be on the panel along with Haig Armen, creative director of LiFT Studios; Geoff D’Auria site manager for The Tyee; Kim Elliott publisher of rabble.ca; Joy Gugeler publisher and editor-in-chief of orato.com; Brian Lamb manager of emerging technologies and digital content with the office of learning technology at UBC; Boris Mann entrepreneur and web strategist; and John Maxwell assistant professor in the Master of Publishing Program at SFU.
