What is Bard and Book?
All Subscriber-Readers Get:
- Exclusive access to the authors throughout the creative process.
- Copies of every digital book produced by the community’s authors throughout the duration of their memberships (Approximately 5 per month).
- Discounts on printed editions of Bard and Book’s published books.
- The collected works of each author in a single digital file throughout the duration of their memberships.
- The gratification of knowing that they are directly supporting the authors, because the majority of their membership fee goes straight to them! (Unless you are a free member, of course…)
Bard and Book Publishing represents an incredible new vision for connecting publishers, authors, and readers. How does it work? Those who subscribe to our reader community get access to every creative piece our authors generate, for as long as the reader maintains his membership!
For those who sign up for the free membership, they have 30 days to download a story after its release. For the paid membership of $5.95, readers have unlimited access to all stories, past and present.
The authors get the lion’s share of the subscription fees, giving readers the satisfaction of knowing that their subscription directly supports the writers.
Not only do our paid subscribers receive 5-10 new short stories or poems each month, they’ll also get the latest novels the authors have written–perhaps one new full length book every other month or so! That’s less then a dollar per book! Beat that!
But we’re not done: in many cases, readers get to ‘watch’ as the stories are actually written, providing feedback throughout the process. For example, an author may make available installments of novels that they are writing and solicit comments. (Free members may or may not have access to these stories.)
How does the publisher make money? By taking completed works of Bard and Book authors and publishing them in a ‘traditional’ manner, primarily to those outside the Bard and Book community of reader-subscribers. The publisher benefits by having a clear idea on which novels are more likely to succeed, by being able to observe the feedback that the authors’ creative pieces receive by the community. Other costs, such as editing, are diminished, because they can be focused on projects deemed more likely to succeed in the wider market place.
Bard and Book publishing represents a win-win-win-win arrangement between the publisher, authors, reader-subscribers, and readers outside the community.
