Interview: Ami Greko and Pablo Defendini from The New Sleekness

Welcome up, listeners! After weeks of radio silence, Hey Everybody! returns with a terrific interview with Ami Greko and Pablo Defendini from The New Sleekness, a blog that provides brilliant and progressive analysis on the mainstream publishing industry. Ami and Pablo are two (of several) talented contributors at the site.

Both Ami and Pablo hail from the publishing biz, and know their stuff. Their perspectives are influenced by their involvement in digital content creation, marketing and publicity … as well as years of exposure to the traditional publishing model. If you’re looking for a respectful and progressive exploration of the state of publishing and where it’s going, this interview is a must-listen.

    Dude, that interview was awesome! So much great information to chew on, I’ve been very interested to see where eBooks will go, and how video and other forms of enhanced features to a book will end up playing out. I’m excited to see what happens with this new form for people to tell their stories in a trans-media sort of way, just like you’ve already been doing, but all in one eBook. Thanks for that great interview J.C.
