E-Books, Publishing

Writers, one more reason to publish E-books: Back when HarperCollins put out my first novel, BLOOD SUGAR, the hard cover sold for 20 bucks and I got 2.  Now, my new E-book, BUF, sells for 3 bucks on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and I still get 2.  What a deal for the author.See More

BFB goes history

My electronic book publishing company, Brown Fedora Books (brownfedorabooks.com), until recently has included fiction, humor, and poetry on its list. Now we proudly present our first non-fiction book, THE MULES OF MONTE CASSINO, by "the mad historian" Henry Grif. I can honestly say you have never read a history book like this one.

Jim,

I was just checking out your website. I am a teacher writer as well, and was thinking about publishing on the web. I am concerned about copyright and permissions. Any advice? Thanks!
