Where & how to get hold of investors interested in books, literature, publishing?

We are looking for investors for our new company and are looking for someone who gets it – thus we would like to find an investor, angel, VC or otherwise, who is into books, writing, reading, literature. We would like someone who understands the publishing process a bit and most importantly can see the possibility of changing a stale, traditional industry and modernizing it through the use of technology.

If someone has any ideas I would be very grateful! Silicon Valley, Dubai, Paris, Brisbane, anywhere in the world.

N.B. PLEASE NO RECOMMENDATIONS ALONG THE LINES: “Why don’t you talk to Stephen King… he must have a ton of money”, etc. I already know this and have a billion ideas myself, but they are doing me no good unless I also know how to get hold of the person/company in question.

P.S. If you want more specifics please PM me, I don’t want to post links and such and be spammy.

I can’t help you but if you list your interests in your profile as Shockingly few, it won’t give any investors much confidence.

Hah! Love that there’s no “bumping” on Fluther!

@drdoombot well, it felt good.

Even if no one can hear you screaming in space – it still might feel like the thing to do :)

(No smiley’s either, I know. Thank God for that.)

I could be wrong, but I really don’t think you’re going to find what you’re looking for on a Q & A.

Cartman's avatar

@Dan_DeColumna nah… probably not but then again it can’t hurt that much to ask either.

@Cartman: Fair enough. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
