Over on the writing blog, I posted “Writing a book? You may want to rethink your process”, about the way publishing is changing.
In 2007, it’s much more profitable for writers to write and instant-publish their books online.
You’ve got two options: publish your book as an ebook, or publish the book as you write it. Kate Mosse did that very successfully; even though she published online, her book sold a million copies when it was traditionally published after it appeared online.
Blogging your book
If you decide to publish your book directly online, rather than selling it as an ebook, you can publish your book on a static Web site, or on a blog.
A blog is easier: publishing content to a blog is as easy as writing an email message, and all the navigational details are handled for you.
A blog also attracts readers; since blogs are updated frequently, the Web search engines scour them looking for fresh content.
If you’re working on a book at the moment, or are sending out query letters to agents and publishers, consider your options. If you blog your book, not only will your book appear more quickly, but you can also make more money.
