It seems rather interesting that authors would need public relations, after all generally writers are set apart from society and often observers of the over all civilization studying human behavior, events and history. Yet once a writer writes some of note all too often there are those who are quite offended. Sometimes what they write addresses an issue that no one was willing to talk about. In doing so they will catch flak for it.
An author must therefore maintain a strong point of contention and good public relations so they can address the comments contrary to the work and explain the true intention of the book, paper, article or work. If not the author maybe miss understood and there words used as an example, which was not intended.
It is not always easy for very prolific and well-known authors to not ruffle the feathers of society or cut at the core of civilization once in a while. It will happen and when it does it sure pays to have the proper communication lines out there and a public relations strategy.
Authors and writers and in the future perhaps designers of Virtual Reality will have to make sure that they are always ready for a fastball targeting them, because the media works at light speed now. Authors and writers need to be schooled in Public Relations and work in advance of such events to have the communications lines ready to rock and roll when need be. Please consider all this in 2006.
