Literature in the 21st Century: Understanding Models of Support for Literary Fiction
Against all that though weighs the problem that successful, specifically
literary experiments are few and far between. Much of the audience for
literary fiction still wants things on paper, without accoutrements such
as video and audio. Any move to produce something genuinely new
and liable to get featured on the App Store homepage, the sine qua non
for app success, will cost a lot of money and require a dedicated team.
Writers of literary fiction are back to square one, hoping for third-party
investment in a tough climate. It is too early to say with any surety what
impact all of this will have and whether emerging models of support will
ever rival the traditional ones. Crowdfunding, self-publishing and new
kinds of writing are all exciting. But for the most part neither are they
easy, nor are they the saviour of literary writing.
