"Stories are the most powerful way to share what's most important to us." - Ben Ehlert
*If you're interested in learning more about publishing, the English language and Linguistics Department teaches a class on it.
You can submit stories and artwork, and then people vote for their favorites. Those that get voted up - and ones that get voted up will get viewed by publishers. The website's still in development (it's a beta website) but this is a cool new opportunity! Let's all spread the word about it!
Cover photos for your stories you submit on there:
1. Can upload your own cover image,
2. You can pay illustrators to do work - $20 b&w - $25 color - you describe what you want.
3. Drop cap - takes the first letter of the story and makes it that way.
Novels:
Submit just the first chapter, and see how people take to it.
Goal is 3 books in production - cover illustrated, edited, illustrated, designed, formatted, promoted & sold - they're trying to get the first books ready by APRIL. Usually publishing can take up to 2 years for that entire process.
