Pål H. Christiansen: It all challenges my wish to keep on publishing oldfashioned printed books
Who are you and in which way do you work with books?
My name is Pål H. Christiansen, I’m a writer of several novels and children’s books in Norwegian language. I also work as a journalist and have my own little publishing company Fabula.
How do digital media and the Internet change your work?
First of all it means much more direct contact with readers and potential readers of my work than before, as well as publishers and media. It also means sharing bits of text with the web community and discussing it here. It all challenges my wish to keep on publishing oldfashioned printed books.
What is a typical problem in your work you would like to have a solution for?
To reach through the “noise” to a larger group of potential readers that obviously are there. This includes getting in contact with publishers abroad. One can’t rely on a domestic publisher doing this for you.
Where can we find you on the Internet?
