I found this website today called WEbook which can be found here
It is a great site where new authors can post their books online where everyday people can review it. It starts off with an author posting their first chapter and if enough people like that first chapter they then submit the first 5 pages. Then if enough people like the 5 pages they then submit 50 pages until they submit their whole manuscript. The books that make it through the whole process lets literary agents and publishers know what real readers want to see on the shelves and those books can soon be published.
Because I love this website and have signed up to review the writers work i decided to do an annotated citation on it.

WEbook was created by Itai Kohavi. WEbook is an authoritative site. It brings together thousands of writers, published authors, readers and established literary agents, for the purpose of finding talented writers, and helping them get published. Because anyone can review your work you can get easily marked down which can affect your chances of getting through to the next stage. WEbook is good for anyone young or old as they have a variety of genres including Teen/Young Adult and Sci Fi/Fantasy. I really like this website because as a writer you are that one step closer to getting your story published and as a reader/reviewer you get to help choose what books are being published plus you get to read them for free as they are put on WEbook.
What a great site. It is a wonderful idea to get the best new authors published. Thanks for providing the link, I hadn't heard of this site.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love reading and writing and am always open to new and aspiring authors. It is so hard to get a book published that I think it's wonderful writers have another avenue they can explore on the road to fame! I may sign up to review the writers work as well - sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteExcellent - a great site and a very good annotated citation. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe site looks really good but I found it a bit confusing to navigate around as there was so much on the page. It is one of those sites where you get to know how it works the more you use it. A good starting point for people who are interested in getting their works published.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting about this site - I am going to add it to my favorites right now.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard keeping track of all these good sites, isn't it?
