Yes its good that the publishers realize that sharing and ebooks will be more the way writers of today will go ,Most writers are now selling there books on LULU .com and I think its a better way for publishers to look for new writers and see how hits they get and how many people download there work .I am going to make my books in to ebooks shortly .But its still a waiting game when you get a agent who signs you for a year ,while they try to find a publisher .Love and Light Tania
sharing is…caring..
whether it is a book, a kind gesture, a smile, or even a tear, when shared with someone brings them comfort, peace, understanding..
So keep up what you’re doing Paulo..and spread the word…around the world..
you..make a difference..
World is getting better because of your books.
