If you are an author and have your writer’s block this article might interest you. With the help of Smashwords, it is possible to add your work in the iBookstore. According to reports, Smashwords decided to sign a distribution deal for e-books in iBookstore of Apple. As a matter of fact, with the help of Smashwords, authors are able to publish their books free of charge. Only a small percentage of a book is received by the company.
It turned out that Mark Coker who is the founder of Smashwords, has sent over 4,000 authors in the Smashwords network, providing them with the information concerning how to get their e-books ready for the iBookstore.
The prices of all books should end in $.99. But still e-books can also be offered for free. Moreover, Apple requires an e-book to have price less than a printed version of a book. But still e-book pricing is considered to be a controversial issue.
Over 9,000 e-books were published by Smashwords, among which one can find famous authors such as Anne Frasier, Gary Wolfe, John Buffalo Mailer, and Mark Sullivan. But still the deal between Smashwords and iPad can be beneficial for new writers.
