Publishing your “great, American novel” just got easier.
Gone are the days of sitting in a little cottage overlooking a pond in the back yard. Authors everywhere can now come out of seclusion (at least in a virtual sense) and get their work published much easier than ever before. A press release from Fast Pencil (www.fastpencil.com) explains how the free service (for writers) now integrates social media into the mix.

Books are a big deal in our family. In fact, with four kids, the only gift we know will go over well with all of them are gift cards to the local Border’s. But that’s not because of brand loyalty to the bookseller – it’s because my wife and kids love books.
So what could possibly be better than giving them a book made especially for them?
iStockphoto.com and Blurb have teamed up to promote a “build your own coffee table book” program that allows you to use photos from the online stock photo service to create and publish a custom book to give as a gift. Pricing starts at just $4.95 – although it’s likely your creation will run somewhere in the $25 – 50 range.
