Latest updates on Borders and Bookbrewer's 'Publish Your Train of Thought' Program
The publishing world is abuzz with the upcoming launch of 'Get Published,' a new self-publishing program by Borders and Book Brewer. Scheduled to go live on October 25th, 2010, this innovative program aims to provide a platform for authors, particularly bloggers, to showcase their work.
The program offers two tiers of access, both of which allow authors to submit books using a software platform written by BookBrewer. The highest tier model enables authors to publish a DRM-free book that is 100% their own, which can be given away for free if desired. Books sold through the program will be priced between $2.99 and $9.99, with the option for authors to establish their own prices, recommended by Borders and Book Brewer.
The 'Get Published' program provides an ISBN, allowing the book to be sold anywhere, not just at Borders. The eBooks submitted are listed on Borders' store and can be distributed to other eBook stores like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more, for a premium fee.
One of the key features of the program is its focus on allowing authors to concentrate on their content, not the format. The program can pull an RSS feed and compile it into eBook format, similar to Amazon's Blog for Kindle Beta program.
Account registration for the BookBrewer platform is possible, and currently, payment for the two tiers of access is through PayPal. Borders plans to accept credit cards directly in the near future.
Some charter members publishing under the 'Get Published' program include 'Bryte's Ascent' and 'The Dating Dad.' Links to these books on Amazon, Borders, and Kobo are provided for your convenience.
The 'Get Published' program aims to provide authors with maximum exposure by facilitating sales at all outlets, not just Borders. It is focused on the US market at the moment, but international authors and bloggers can use the service, with potential complications regarding credit card/PayPal issues and dealing with money exchange.
Borders and Book Brewer are excited about the 'Get Published' program, believing it could provide a platform for tomorrow's authors. For more detailed information about the program's pricing, distribution structure, or the exact eBook stores to which it distributes, it's recommended to consult their official website or direct sources.
Technology has transformed the lifestyle of many, and the 'Get Published' program by Borders and Book Brewer is no exception. This innovative self-publishing platform encourages authors, particularly bloggers, to convert their content into e-books, providing widened entertainment opportunities through easy distribution of their books on platforms like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.
