Break the Spine

Welcome to the Revolution! I'm Monique Trottier of SoMisguided.com and I'm tired of the book publishing industry not being able to en masse figure out how to create a free economy for books. By free, I mean libre not gratis. This is not about ebooks or giving away books for free. This is about how do we find a way for creators to make money creating, how do we manage a sustainable industry, how do we get books into the hands of readers. My definition of book can be different from yours. This is not a war of formats. This is a revolution (a full turn of the wheel) on how we think about the creation, editing, production, distribution and promotion of book content.

New! Shortcovers EPUB Conversion Program

Shortcovers announced last week that they’re now converting publishers’ InDesign and Quark files (and just about any other file type) into EPUB. The conversion is free if you list your books only on Shortcovers. If you want to list your ebooks on additional sites, costs start at $29 for a simple book with few images and no bibliographic references, $49 for a book with up to 12% images and some bibliographic content to $100 for a more complex book.  Publishers who pay for the conversion get the EPUB file back to sell from their own website or other third-party sites.
