Craig Mod is a writer, designer, publisher and developer concerned with 'the future of publishing and storytelling'. I had the pleasure of seeing him speak at The Do Lectures in a tent in Wales in September and today wanted to share his talk with you.

Craig's talk resonated with me as it was the first one I had listened to, on the often debated subject about the future of publishing, that was overwhelmingly positive. The ease with which we can publish and spread our ideas around the world is amazing and I agree, something to be truly celebrated. With the iPad and book readers such as the Kindle (now on our UK shores), perhaps the 'artefact' of the physical object of the book is dying but long live the art of publishing and storytelling.

Each presenter was asked to give a Little Do and Big Do that audience members could take away with them. Craig's Big Do was 'publish a book'. It's never been easier to spread your ideas and make your mark on the world.

If you think you have a book in you, watch this 15 minute video for inspiration and then start.

Today.
