Readers all over the world immediately sat up and took note of this little-known publishing venue. It was ironic that, in a matter of a few days, everything that electronic publishers had been steadily working toward for years suddenly gelled. Electronic publishing is the wave of the future, for a number of reasons. First, electronic books are sold over the Internet, which is accessed by millions of people every day. These books can either be read on computers or downloaded onto a variety of hand-held reading devices.
Electronic books cost less than paperbacks and offer a variety of talented authors.
And, most importantly, electronic books are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The number of electronic publishes seeking manuscripts from writers over the Internet has increased dramatically in the past three years. Most of these lists give you the name of the electronic publisher, what type of genre they carry, and a direct link to their web page. The steps for submitting a novel to electronic publishers are very similar to the submittal process for traditional publishers. First you send a query letter and wait for their response.
