Digital reading company Kobo is launching a competitor to Amazon's (s AMZN) KDP and Barnes & Noble's (s BKS) PubIt: Kobo Writing Life, a free self-publishing platform for independent authors and publishers.
Writing Life is in beta tests with 50 authors now and will launch in English by the end of June, "with new language and country-specific support added in the coming year," …
I'm just getting dressed to go to work for a night shift but have just received some exciting news. Kobo has announced the launch of its new e-book self-publishing platform - KOBO WRITING LIFE!
I am very excited for a very particular reason. I was asked quite some time ago to be one of Kobo's beta-test authors to take the new platform out for a "test spin".
There are still a few hoops that need to be jumped through - this is all very new to me - but I have three novel-length works lined up for publication over the next couple of months - as well as a few shorter works - beginning with a brand new YA novel that I have written.
Look for more details in the days to come.
yours in storytelling,
Steve Vernon
