Hi everyone.
I thought I might remind readers to go and have a look at some great sites.
Have you checked out ERGOfiction, a great e-zine for web fiction fans.
BLUE DOG BLURBS has updated, too, for some more quick fic and a new play.
I have been devouring anything I can find on the future of publishing. I think it has to go digital. I also think the standard in popular (pulp) fiction on the shelves is falling, and book sales are not rising. Makes sense to me, especially when there need not be a middleman in the transaction between author and reader.
Time will tell.
Don't forget to check Tonya Moore's listings at WEB FICTION DIRECTORY.
There are new listings in many genres, all the time at ONLINE NOVELS.
Jennifer has an enormous selection of fiction in all genres at FREE ONLINE NOVELS.
Support the online community, and get the word out there. If you attend a writers' group, let the members know how high the quality of fiction is here, and get them thinking about the possibilities for idie publishing online.
If you have been thinking about the freedom of online publishing, but are not tech minded, drop me a line and I will direct you to a community who can help and support you in using FREE web pages for your work.
Best wishes to all.
L.

It seems that there is a lot of discussion out there in cyberspace about the direction of publishing in general. To add to the argument there is self publishing and self promotion vs the publishing house contract... one author I know says that her experience of the contract was that apart from the initial interest in her book the publishing house soon forgot her and her book as they moved on to the next author in line... and even when she self promoted and got books sold she was giving the publishing house their cut for doing nothing... if you can afford the initial outlay of paper print and sell your book and yourself to any and every market ... you reap the rewards... ebooks is fine... but giving your work away has to be argued as a negative ... as an author you worked hard to write the stories you should be rewarded financially... my question is does ebooks create a culture of something for giving nothing... does this devalue the work of the author...
