| Abstract: | The rise of the “star” author and the cult of celebrity overwhelms publishing in the same way that it has movies and professional
sports. Television creates the star system, agents nurture it. Publishers must find ways of surviving it. The Internet provides
a means for star authors to reach their public without the intermediation of their publisher, but it is not yet a medium in
which stars are born.
