Re: Online story writing
You should check out our Play by Committee game.
There's another one that's just starting, too. |

Re: Online story writing
Do a google search on "publish on demand" (keep the quotes around all 3 words).
Id love to see some dime novel SEIV series books. People did it with their DnD campaigns. Some of them did pretty well.

Re: Online story writing
Just make sure you're not paying. Remember, proper flow of money is from publisher to you. And get an agent. That's what auther's have said on an auther help site written by auther's.

Re: Online story writing
Publish-on-Demand is different. There are alot of sites with different options but it generally works like this.
You send them a book done in PDF format. Cover art, back, the story itself with images. They create a webpage that you can include on your site which shows your book. Some do softcover, some do fancy hardback. If someone clicks the link then that company takes the order, prints the book, and ships it. Its the same way CafePress does t-shirts. The book doesnt exist until someone orders it. If they charge $15 to send the book then you can charge $19.95 if you want to. They will send you the extra. As far as they are concerned it doesnt matter if you sell 10 or 1000.
Its alot easier then getting an ISBN number, printing contract, and in the book stores. But it can be a good stepping stone to getting there.

Re: Online story writing
According to something I read, cafepress gives you very little return compared to finding a shop and doing it yourself.
