Authors and Readers Establish Sovereignty Online
Infinity Publishing hosts AuthorNation.com to unite literary luminaries and their readers
WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PENN.—October 11, 2007—By the people, for the people … describes AuthorNation.com, a new forum-driven, literary Web site powered by Infinity Publishing. Free membership for everyone encourages writers at all levels and readers of all interests, to participate through an array of interactive tools. It has everything a community needs – food for thought, fresh entertainment, calendared events, and a place to communicate, share, and market.
The Writer’s Lounge encourages writing hobbyists, emerging writers and established authors to participate. Options allow authors to build a writing portfolio with short stories, poems, articles, book excerpts, and more, or simply use the space for a personal blog. Interactive tools include personal web pages, network building, extensive forums, and a “Buy it here” button to sell books, which benefits both writers and readers. The Reader’s Lounge at AuthorNation.com is a worldwide book club, with lively discussions of favorite authors and books. Photo and video uploading and a private messaging system introduce a way for authors and their readers to connect personally, on a mutually comfortable level.
Tom Gregory, the visionary behind Author Nation and Infinity Publishing’s president, expanded upon the literary community concept first initiated by Ben Franklin. Franklin’s early gatherings of writers, printers, readers, and business folks, met weekly in a tavern to discuss timely publishing topics and exchange books of the day. AuthorNation.com sets Franklin’s literati scene in contemporary authors’ point of view – I write to be read.
One new AuthorNation.com member’s first post demonstrates the enthusiasm already generated, “I just registered and established my site on AuthorNation.com this morning. I want to compliment Infinity Publishing for continuing their tradition of innovation in the publishing industry. This new site is a great opportunity for authors to both share ideas and to present their books.”
In 191 forum topics and an option to suggest more, AuthorNation.com goes far beyond the average online writing community’s range. Opportunities for discussion include writing techniques, reading interests, and participation in fun riddles and word games. Genre forums alone, invite energetic interaction with 125 possibilities to explore, beginning with “Action” and ending with “Young Adult Fiction.” Expert moderators in forums devoted to writing, answer questions on editing, computer technology, and dealing with the media. Www.AuthorNation.com is powered by Infinity Publishing. Questions can be asked online at the Author Nation site, or call 610-941-9999.
