\”How can any author hope to break through those
numbers?\” Childers asked.
Two more e-publishing ventures were announced
Monday, adding to the already crowded playing field.
The British website netpublished.net — not to be
confused with the already-existing netpublished.com —
plans to electronically publish novels at no charge and
offer them for sale online.
The second company, eBrandedbooks.com, bills itself
as both a writer\’s personal agent and publisher. It also
will act as distributor, placing books in bookstores and
other appropriate venues.
\”We are the only completely free print and
electronic-book publisher,\” said Jonathan Aspatore,
CEO of eBrandedbooks.com, adding that
eBrandedbooks.com offers \”unprecedented royalties\”
of 50 percent of sales.
