YOU TUBE of Publishing?

Have you ever dreamed of being published? Now your dream can come true!!! In yesterday's New York Times, Brad Stone wrote an article about a cool new website, SCRIBD. This document sharing site gives authors the ability to upload their work, set a price they wish to charge the readers and keep 80% of the revenue.
Readers will be able to read the documents on the site, download to their KINDLE, and very soon be able to download to their Iphones.
"Kemble Scott, who has released a novel through a conventional publisher, said he would post his topical new political comedy, “The Sower,” to Scribd and charge $2 for it, partly because standard publishing is so slow. “If this is a book that is going to be interesting to people, now is the time that it fits into the national mood,” he said."
Do you have a book or article swimming in your head? Check out SCRIBD and and change your name to Edgar Allen Poe.
