[hq]March 10th, 2015 TRAPDOOR TECHNOLOGIES THE ED GREENWOOD GROUP Trapdoor and Greenwood are in talks… Enhanced ebooks and new technologies are dynamically changing the traditional book publishing landscape, both for publishing companies and for authors. The change is not a minor one. While the business landscape has changed for all involved, the coming technological advances will have a profound effect on storytelling itself. Trapdoor's breakthrough multimedia-enhanced app-building platform creates an immersive storytelling environment that provides authors more freedom to be creative and readers an especially exciting and unique experience. “What we have developed is a simple intuitive technology, the key for wide-scale adoption of new forms of storytelling, that seamlessly incorporates multimedia and interactive content with the written word,” said Chris Matney, managing director at Trapdoor Technologies. “The ability to add interactivity, sounds, video, animation, puzzles, evolving synopses, and so much more to a novel is quite the thrilling creative opportunity,” said Ed Greenwood, president and publisher of The Ed Greenwood Group. “It opens the mind, and I’m looking forward to continuing my chats with Trapdoor—seeing just how cool they can make things for our readers is inspiring.”[/hq] </blockquote>
