A new age in publishing has dawned and I am beyond excited to be a part of it. Last fall I was given a Kindle reader as a gift and I must say, while I love the feel of paper books and have a vast collection, I love the convenience of having 200 books on my Kindle. All my favourite Victorian writers are there on the svelte little gadget as well as writers I’m currently reading.
As a writer, the Kindle is even more interesting and exciting. I can publish my work to Amazon.com and Kindle readers all over the world have access to it. Not only can I publish, but I can earn more from one Kindle sale than I ever did from a single sale of a paper book, while charging significantly less.
My first project is now live as a Kindle book: Patriarchal Social Scripts and Child Sexual Abuse. In paper it would be called a chapbook. It is in fact an essay I have long wanted to publish but had never found an appropriate venue for. This short piece is part memoir and part political analysis. I hope it will generate discussion.
Several other projects are in the works. Look for more Kindle books from me in the very near future.
Note: you can read Kindle books with the free Kindle Reading App on any computer.
