Remembers When

There's no question that terms are changing in the publishing world - it is part of the evolution of language. We used to think of publishing as something that got books, newspapers, and magazines onto physical shelves in stores. Now we publish on-line, in print, podcast, videocast, and multi-media. If you look at Merriam Webster, you get this definition of "publish."

To me, the key element here is "to make generally known" and "to disseminate to the public." So if you are asking yourself whether posting your memoirs at Remembers When is actually publishing them, the answer is "yes." You make your material generally known and disseminate it to the public. You may also want to publish your memoirs in book, ebook, audiobook, or some other yet-undefined format. We hope you will consider Remembers When as one of your publishing options.
