Excerpt from release - Nashville, Tenn., November 18th, 2009 – FiledBy (www.filedby.com), the leading online directory of authors, writers, illustrators, photographers and other book contributors, today announced the integration of the Scribd Reader technology into the online toolset provided to its fast growing community of authors and other creators. Scribd (www.scribd.com) the largest social publishing company in the world, facilitates the creation and distribution of web documents that allow anyone to share written materials easily over the Internet. As a result of the agreement, all authors and other book contributors who register and claim their FiledBy site can utilize Scribd’s document reader to publish documents on FiledBy and Scribd simultaneously.
“We integrated Scribd’s technology on FiledBy sites to provide a more powerful, extensible and integrated document viewing platform that can support many file types, improve discoverability and broaden exposure for authors and others on FiledBy,” said Peter Clifton, CEO and co-founder, FiledBy. “This integration also establishes a framework for our authors to engage in social publishing and empowers them with another state of the art way to promote themselves and their work. For authors looking to expand their reach and build their marketing platform online, document posting and sharing on FiledBy and Scribd is a very powerful connection.”
To upload documents, videos, podcasts or other media, authors must be registered and verified on FiledBy. One of the advantages to the new integrated model with Scribd is that only the author themselves or their publisher can publish documents through FiledBy. This provides a level of verification and authority that helps protect copyrighted material. Click here to view a sample document on FiledBy and Scribd.

Shoved to the curb and left to fend on her own at the age of 14; Dani Glowaski eventually went on to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work.
But God was not welcome nor allowed to be spoken on the job… Not able to do so, Glowaski went on to work for the Archdiocese of St. Paul/ Minneapolis for 8 years.
Back The Truck is a true story of Glowaski’s strength & perseverance. That, combined with her strong faith is what makes this story unique and a must read!
This is Glowaski’s first book and is currently working on her sequel… Drive the Truck.
Good for everyone who overcomes circumstances and makes things happen. I count myself in that number. I married at sixteen and a senior in high school. I raised three boys and three girls. My husband was on the road most of the time. In 1971, when my youngest was eleven years old I entered Ivy Tech to become an LPN. Then in 1978 I entered college again to receive my RN. I was not quite done yet, and in 1990, I entered college to receive my Bachelor Degree.
Now I am retired and have the time to pursue my passion. Writing! I have two books in print and one being edited. My obstacle now is to get them in bookstores and out where they are visible. By the way, I started my career when I was forty and worked into my seventies. I am seventy-nine and I desire to one of my books make the grade. Iris VanDeventer-Whitney
