Digital Publishing Startups 

Michael Bhaskar

Below is an ever expanding list of digital publishing startups. My definition of the space is fluid, covering writing, publishing, bookselling, blogging, agency work and people tangentially related to the industry. These companies and organisations vary in size but all work around the web and writing.

Please get in touch (@michaelbhaskar on Twitter) to suggest startups or if you just want to say hello. Also, you maybe interested in my book on publishing, The Content Machine
