Today, FastPencil, a California-based start-up, announced the beta launch of their self-publishing platform that purports to make the writing and publishing your printed or e-book a painless process.
“Whether you are writing a Best Seller like Harry Potter, collaborating on a cookbook or printing a modified version of A Christmas Carol using your kid’s names, now anyone can publish a first-rate book,” said Steve Wilson, FastPencil Co-Founder and CEO.
The big idea is the provision of a single service that allows writers to create, share, and publish their work. FastPencil provides memoir, novel, and other book templates with which to frame your project, or you can start simply with the blank page. Bloggers have the ability to upload their blog and then format it into chapters for printing or distribution, and social network integration is provided on the site so that writers can invite their friends to weigh in on their works-in-progress.
Bottom line: it costs nothing to sign up for the basic service and start writing. Check it out at www.fastpencil.com.
Painless Publishing. Too easy!!!!!! What a shame they can’t write it for us as well.
