"I'm a student interested in seeing my work published. I write well, or so I think. I've sent my work to several publishers, but haven't received any response. Can you tell me where I can get my manuscript printed and also ensure that a large audience will read it? Also, I happen to be dead broke!"
- Suneeta Chauhan
Hello, Suneeta. You can thank me now, because I think I have the answer to your prayers.
IPublish is a fully integrated writing and reading community, and features three channels: iWrite, iRead, and iLearn.
The site is devoted to discovering fresh talent. Simply post an excerpt from your manuscript at iWrite, which will then be judged and rated by other writers and readers. Based on those ratings, and the approval of assigned editors, your work can actually be published as an ebook, at zero-cost!
You can also have access to tips and suggestions on topics that are widely read, popular, or those that cater to your interests alone. Might help you decide on a topic for your next book.
Why the Internet as a medium, you ask? Simply because it enables one to reach a large audience at little or no cost.
The iRead section is the site's launch pad for published work. Users can read all approved work, with books categorised by genre and even downloadable. Members can also post reviews or buy the books they want to read.
Those seriously weighing the option of writing as a career will love iLearn. This section is the site's think-tank: a writer's school where you can openly and freely share publishing knowledge with readers, writers and visitors to the community. They don't claim to make you excellent writers, and simply intend to help you refine your talent.
Live Events, an extremely active section, invites other publishers, writers, literary agents and other guests to hold discussions and answer queries. Self Help studies features tips on publicity, telling you about tricks that guarantee a safe target market to your book and ensure that your work isn't lost. The site also has message boards that help you interact with whose sharing similar passions.
So, finally, Suneeta, if you believe that the best things in life come free, here's more proof.
