Give It Away: One Solution To The Book Publishing Blues - Page 4

Part of: NaNoWriMo Notes

Look, I know, the reality is that probably very few people will actually download her; what motivation will they have for doing so other than the fact that I'm offering free copies? In all likelihood the fact that I'm offering it for free will turn most people off because they'll think if it's free it can't be any good. However, as it stands right now, nobody is reading her, and at least this way somebody might. I've recently opened my own Facebook and My Space pages where I can create download centres and promote the book as well.

A writer isn't a writer unless he or she is willing to let people read what they have written. I'm willing to let people read what I've written - now the question remains are people going to be willing to read it? Well, are you? As soon as I figure out how to go about setting up download sites I guess I'll find out.
