J. Thorn and I are both authors and passionate about helping writers find new ways to create, collaborate, reach fans, and make more money in the Creator Economy. We're also both excited about the creative and financial possibilities of emerging blockchain technology, including NFTs. J. Thorn and Joanna (J.F.) Penn in New Orleans, 2017 In this discussion, we cover: * Explaining NFTs for non-technical people. Some metaphors that might help. * Why are we so excited about NFTs? What are the benefits to authors and other Creators? * Why resale of unique digital assets using smart contracts on a blockchain is such a radically new prospect for authors and the publishing industry — and why it could be so exciting for long-term creators who own and control their intellectual property* What are some of the different kinds of NFTs that authors could use — both for fiction and non-fiction? How might AI-generative art and music play a part in that?* Fractionalization of royalty rights and how this is emerging in the music industry through new platform, Royal, where the co-founder is an independent musician, 3LAU and knows what creators want* How we envisage unique digital originals (NFTs) sitting alongside unique physical products like hand-bound books, or vinyl music, and other ideas for how this could introduce so many opportunities for authors to create more in their worlds* Some of the companies emerging in the NFT for book space and our thoughts on what we want to see before we commit to a platform — since smart contracts can represent a long-term commitment.* Open questions about the financial and tax implications of NFTs that we're still investigating* Our recommendations if you're interested in NFTs for books and blockchain [Please note: We are not financial or legal professionals, and this is not financial or legal advice.
