Call for Blogs: Share your experiences in digital publishing

Next week, Gamasutra will launch a special week of content focused on the role of publishers in today's industry -- and we want to hear about your experiences. With the rise of digital distribution, crowdfunding, and direct community engagement, is a publisher necessary in this day and age? We'd like you to tell us. Whether you've gone it alone or decided to work with a traditional publisher -- or if you've had a more complicated, modern relationship with a startup in the digital space; whether you work in mobile, console, or PC; we want to hear from you. What have your experiences been? What would you recommend to other developers in your situation? How have the shifts in the landscape of development and digital publishing really affected you? You can submit your stories directly to Gamasutra's blog section. Not sure what to write? Need to brainstorm? Just email blog director Christian Nutt and he'll help you with any questions. Special Note: While we're happy for those of you who work at publishers to blog on this topic, too -- your experiences are just as valuable! -- please note that posts which exclusively promote services are against Gamasutra's guidelines.
