www.author.co.uk
Entrepreneur required.The www.author.co.uk site needs new blood, someone with imagination who can move it forward to become the epicentre of British writing and publishing. Its been operating for over ten years, establishing a foothold for authors, lodging its information safely within most search engines. It has huge potential, and will make millions in the right hands.
There are several ways to make the site commercially profitable; authors can have their own sites - perhaps using subdomains, such as www.lockwood.author.co.uk; it could be used to promote British authors, and they need promoting; there's a whole range of other opportunities, from providing book production facilities, an online bookshop, promotional feeds using RSS, Blogs, adding audio-visual material linked to press campaigns; as well as providing information.
It's time to hand over to someone else, who can inject real enthusiasm into the publishing industry., which is in jeopardy as it becomes more controlled by a few very large agglomerated companies. The dream has always been to improve the pathways from writer to reader. The conventional model no longer works - certainly not for authors, who are too often regarded as cash cows who can be too easily discarded once sales figures begin to droop.
Using www.author.co.uk is a way forward, putting authors back in control of their own destinies. Somewhere out there are people who understand the potential of controlling a large hunk of British writing talent. After all where will publishers be without the words provided by writers?
