"Straight to the readers"
An anthology of science fiction titles by name authors is going straight to digital. An excerpt from the article:
A group of US authors, including Ursula K Le Guin, is bypassing the traditional publishing process by publishing direct on Amazon's Kindle and Sony's e-reader. Book View Press was founded earlier this year by members of Book View Cafe, a co-operative of 27 "award-winning and bestselling authors".
Book View Press's first project is an anthology of science fiction titles, Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls, which includes stores by science fiction author Vonda N McIntyre, Katharine Kerr, and others.
No outside publishing house will be involved and the profits go directly to the authors. Members of the collective include Le Guin, McIntyre, Sarah Smith and Laura Anne Gilman, and new authors such Seanan McGuire--many of whom remain under contract with traditional publishers.
"Ebooks give us a fantastic opportunity to bring our best work straight to the readers," said Zettel. "It's truly an exciting time to be an author."
