WEBook — Writing en mass?

Here is an interesting idea: WEBook. According to the web site, the purpose of WEBook is to:

WEbook is a revolutionary online book publishing company, which does for the industry what American Idol did for music. (Modestly speaking, of course.) Welcome to the home of groundbreaking User-Generated Books. WEbook is the vision of a few occasionally erudite people who believe there are millions of talented writers whose work is ignored by the staid and exclusive world of book publishing. It just makes logical sense that if you create a dynamic, irreverent, and open place for writers and people who like reading to meet, write, react, and think together, the results are bound to be extraordinary. Cue WEbook.com, an online publishing platform that allows writers, editors, reviewers, illustrators and others to join forces to create great works of fiction and non-fiction, thrillers and essays, short stories, children’s books and more.

Interesting site. I’ll have to check it out more. I wonder what publishers think about this new form of publishing?

The playlist corresponds approximately to events and characters in the novel and shows their progression through the story. Related Images:
