I received an email from The Writers' Cooperative, a writing group I subscribe to. There is going to be a whole new site for freelance writers! The message reads as follows:
"Our Writers’
Co-operative, Writer’s Choice, is putting together – actually our brilliant
Sharon Robards is doing it – a rather special website. We’d like to invite
writers’ groups like RWNZ or freelance writers to consider using it.
"CoverBlurb is a multi-media social site for
readers, authors, and anyone interested in entertainment related to books.
We’re interested in anything to do with books and writing presented via various
media.
"Our aim is
to extend beyond the book and the blurb and to include all media related to any
individual title and provide a more personal experience for readers in regards
to how books are created, their inspiration, settings and more.
Authors can
feature new book trailers, covers, interviews, audio only interviews, and even
hold a live video conference with their readers, and if you’re a reader or
blogger you can upload video book reviews - or perhaps even your own book
trailer for a book you have read if that book is in the public domain and no
longer under copyright. You might have a picture with your favourite author or
a signed copy of their book. Share the images with others on CoverBlurb.
"Everyone can
watch book trailers, reviews, interviews and much more on CoverBlurb. People
can see first-hand newly released book trailers, find videos about their
favourite books, find books they have never heard of, and gain a more personal
insight into each title by authors and their readers interacting with photos
and video. The use of CoverBlurb is only limited by your imagination.
Register at the site first, then Sharon will
manually approve the registration. In the next few days they will be able to
link up their blogs, like happens on Goodreads, and the groups will have more
functions added and the galleries etc… promotions and PR will be pushed to
coverblurbs Googleplus, Facebook, and twitters pages, and of course on our
special Writers’ Choice website."
