One of the most important things is that the NuvoMedia Rocket eBook puts their titles on the shelves next to writers like Stephen King. Orpheus Romance is already talking to them. I think it's a new medium and people have to think of it that way. It brings in all the aspects of new media. But actually, it's still in print, and it's saving the trees.
Electronic publishing is certainly faster.
Even after a sale, print publishing deals can take up to two years to become a physical book, while e-publishing can be rolling on the Web within a couple of months. I must get five to 10 e-mails a day. Because there's no printing, distribution and shipping costs, publishers can also give writers a better cut of the royalties. Ms. Slunder, for example, gets 30 per cent royalties for Captain of her Heart. But don't forget that the prices are considerably lower, cautioned Ms. Ellis.
