Amazon has just launched Amazon Encore as another fantastic way for you to have the opportunity to publish your book.
Here’s an excerpt from the announcement, “AmazonEncore is a new program whereby Amazon will use information such as customer reviews on Amazon.com to identify exceptional, overlooked books and authors with more potential than their sales may indicate. Amazon will then partner with the authors to re-introduce their books to readers through marketing support and distribution into multiple channels and formats, such as the Amazon.com Books Store, Amazon Kindle Store, Audible.com, and national and independent bookstores via third-party wholesalers. “
Here is the link for all the information from Amazon.
On the plane yesterday to and from Dallas, I read what I think is the best article on the history and current state of publishing. The article is in the March 2009 issue of Harper’s Magazine and is titled, “The Last Book Party: Publishing Drinks to a Life After Death,” by Gideon Lewis-Kraus. (Kraus is a brilliant writer.)
Unfortunately, when I went to Harper’s online the article is not retrievable or viewable UNLESS you are a Harper’s subscriber.
Drats! Darn! UGH! Drats!
So though it’s very frustrating that Harper’s does not have this article online (Harper’s please trust the Web and get your stuff online completely), I have to urge all of you to go and buy Harper’s Magazine and read this article.
Read it read it read it.
