Direct-to-web publishing offers more advantages than can be listed in a paragraph or two, so i’m going to zoom in on just the main benefits it offers writers and readers.

As an author I can produce, publish, and promote my stories worldwide at amost no cost. I can also bundle audio and text formats into a single publication. And I can appeal to my audiences directly, inviting them into my stories at no cost, without any techno requrements other than a web link or QR Code.

For readers and listeners, that means ‘books’ purchased at an ‘author’s royalty rate’—a fraction of print, eBook, and audiobook prices, and with no shipping and delivery charges tacked on. Because D2W books are read as web pages, readers can explore facets of a novel seamlessly online—Dr. Google is just a mouse click away. Those are just some of the features that make D2W editions an appealing experience for readers and listeners.

Hope you’re enjoyng your read of The Mural Gazer, and that you will make your $5 Voluntary Royalty Payment’ before getting into the next episode.
