  Here's an interesting twist on a new publishing format. Kind of like Survivor meets Red Lemonade.

  Thoughts? Reactions? Anyone trucked with these folks? Peace...

  There's a similar model in the UK: http://unbound.co.uk/ — "cutting out the middle man" (who in the case of publishing is more likely to be a woman than a man, at least on the editing floor) "through social media" seems to be the craze of the writing day. Of course, all these books still have to be written. Though http://storify.com/ promises they will write themselves if only your ears are large enough. I've talked to plastic surgeons lately about giving me another pair of hands so that I can tweet more and use two keyboards simultaneously, but science isn't quite there yet I'm afraid. Thanks for sharing though the advertising video with its upbeat rhythm put me in a bad mood. I'd stay on but I got some writing to do and then I'm going to sit next to my (physical) mailbox for the rest of the day because I'm waiting for a handwritten, scented letter from my future publisher. Spring cheers from Berlin!
