Richard Nash seems to be everywhere lately. The current issue of Poets & Writers features a Q&A with this very busy editor/publisher/entrepreneur/idea-guy, and recent issues of the same magazine have given major coverage and praise to some of the authors he champions (Portland’s very own Vanessa Veselka among them). Besides that, he’s involved with several projects (Red Lemonade, Small Demons, etc.) that hope to “disrupt” (excuse the buzz-word) the usual way things get written, read, sold, and talked about in the world of publishing. Chief among these noble experiments is Cursor, a social platform that seeks to power the future of independent publishing.
At the 2011 BookExpo America, BookBaby president Brian Felsen interviewed Nash (who has been hailed as “a genius” by Chris Anderson of WIRED Magazine). In this segment, they talk about the artificial distinction between readers and writers, and why great writers MUST be great readers.
