I love the idea of authors releasing short titles to complement their standard works. I definitely want the two Mira Grant books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548680159204361401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-78266189435856978282012-07-26T18:58:24.428+01:002012-07-26T18:58:24.428+01:00I like the idea simply because it gives author'...I like the idea simply because it gives author's more flexibility. I think this is the strength of the ebook format, its adaptability.<br /><br />Publishers/Authors in the past have tried to work around the 100,000 novel format to draw in new readers but it seemed novel, bad pun, and didn't catch on such as with Stephen King's Green Mile and Jordan's "From Two Rivers" & "To the Blight".<br /><br />I am just excited to see what authors and publishers come up with. The idea of serials and pulp style publications resurfacing is exciting as well. It just helps give authors back more creativity in their use of the medium.WordTippinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242202749617102417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-56445264916384967352012-07-26T15:36:58.039+01:002012-07-26T15:36:58.039+01:00I've read a few short pieces published this wa...I've read a few short pieces published this way.
