Book publishing has changed a lot since I published my first book in 2004. Tom Dean, who has worked with some of the biggest publishers in the world and helped many New York Times Bestselling Authors and I talk about some of those changes, including the ebook craze, the audiobook phenomenon and the drastic shift in the retail landscape. Rather than book retail being predominantly bricks and mortar bookstores, it's now dominated by Amazon - the 24/7 bookstore.
