How You Can Make Money & Still Get Your Book Read

Posted on 9:00 AM by humpty

Here's something new in book publishing from Unglue.It: Crowdfunded ebooks become copyright-free once they’ve reached their target. This crowdfunding platform allows authors to charge for their ebooks until they’re satisfied with the profits earned and can release them happily into the public domain. There are three models for this:

  1. Authors release their work for free and ask for support from readers and fans

  2. Authors ask readers and fans to pledge towards the creation of an unfinished book

  3. Authors with a finished work can set a funding target, after which the work will be released copyright free for everyone to read

 Check out the cool mission/definitions at the top of the Unglue.It page.
