I took a tip from Valerie Sirr and submitted a story to Ether Books the other week. My story Worm is now available as a download for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via a free app from the iTunes app store here. There are some very well known names on their list of authors along with people like myself.
I quote from their website:
“Ether Books is a new and innovative mobile publisher, providing the very best short content direct to your mobile phone. We publish short fiction, articles, poetry and serials from both bestselling and emerging contemporary writers.
To enjoy your own personal library of ‘15 minute reads’ right now, go to the Apple App store to download our FREE application.
If you are a writer, you can submit your short story directly to us through our online submission page. You can submit your story to us free or through our fast-track Silver Membership for only £25. Click here to find out more.”
Valerie’s story Mirage has been performing really well on the site, reaching the number 1 slot on its first week. It’s very attractive to think that there could be new readers for your work if you put it out there. Stories usually take no longer than about 15 minutes to read and cost about 70 cents each per download.
Why not download Worm today, and while you’re at it check out stories from Valerie Sirr, Madeleine D’Arcy, Louise Phillips, Toby Litt, Aiden O’Reilly and a whole host of other great writers.
Yay! Congrats on your Ether story. Didn’t realise Louise Phillips was on there too. Must check it out.
Thanks Valerie!
