Book View Cafe is a new website that promises new free fiction every day, most of it unavailable elsewhere. It represents a new approach to publishing made possible by the Internet. While most of the fiction on the site will be free, authors will also be offering expanded work, additional content, print versions, or subscriptions for a fee.
The project currently includes over twenty professional authors such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Vonda N. McIntyre, and Anne Harris. The diversity of Book View Cafe's authors guarantees something for just about everyone. "Book View Cafe will make sure the readers get the stories they want, when, where and how they want them. We are the library in your back pocket," says Project Manager Sarah Zettel.
Readers can access new content by visiting the website (
http://www.bookviewcafe.com/ ). RSS feed and an email announcement list will eventually alert readers to new content. In addition, Book View Cafe will be partnering with TextOnPhone to make content available via iPhone and iPod. Daily posts by the authors to the group blog creates an ongoing virtual book conference where readers and writers can interact. Book View Cafe can also be found at social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and at LiveJournal, Blogspot, and Wordpress.
These authors will be attending the chat: Sarah Zettel, Brenda Clough, Nancy Jane Moore, Laura Anne Gilman, Pati Nagle, Sue Lange and Maya
