Taiwanese authors with a big following in the PRC, such as Liu Yung, Chu Teh-yung, Lin Ching-hsuan, and "Slicker" Tsai, no longer communicate with their audiences via the published word, at two degrees of separation. Now they travel to the mainland in person to meet with their readers face-to-face at press conferences, book signings, and speeches.
與過去不同的是，今天在大陸最火的台灣作家，諸如劉墉、朱德庸、林清玄、痞子蔡等，都不再只是隔空授權，以作品與大陸讀者神交，而是親赴大陸舉行新書發表會、簽名會、專題演講，面對面進行有溫度的交流。
