I really like this concept.
How many authors’ works have died on the vines because of a lack of capital to get into the publishing field. No capital and no backing … no book deal.
Check out Bookrix.
Here’s a new web community devoted to supporting authors and readers of new and contemporary works. Join the community of readers and writers and even create your own page to support your writing endeavours.
The site acknowledges the success of music and photography in a web 2.0 world, so why not authoring? It’s not just for traditional books either. There’s a whole section devoted to comic books as well.
Great concept and to support it, there’s a contest for authors on the site.
If you like to read or write, you definitely need to head over and check out this resource.
