F+W Media's Adams Media imprint has launched F+W Media Business Now, a digital-first business imprint. Titles will run approximately 75-100 pages and be priced at $7.99. The first titles, Like My Stuff: How to Get 750 Million Members to Buy Your Stuff on Facebook by Amanda Ryan and Killer Commodities: How to Cash in on the Hottest New Trading Trends, are both scheduled for mid-October. Volatility Busters is tentatively scheduled for November 2011.
Said Karen Cooper, Adams Media publisher: “We chose to release the F+W Media Business Now imprint as direct to ebook for speed to the market—to give today's business people the most up to date info at the pace of business rather than having to wait for a traditional print schedule.”
