This newly launched website for aspiring authors and the literary community was envisioned as the first time publisher of original works. However, the site which describes itself as “Publishing 2.0″ appears to also be serving as an agrregator for works published by the likes of Booksurge, Lu Lu and AuthorHouse.
NovelMaker.com actually makes the entire text of a novel, short story etc. available at no cost whereas the other sites require the purchse of either a printed copy or ebook, i.e. the reader must pay before reading.
The NovelMaker.com format allows free reading with the decision to purchase hard copy or ebook formats made subsequent to perusal of the online work.

Hi Mark,
That’d be a very useful tool. I’ll suggest it as an idea for the Toronto Startup Weekend (http://toronto.startupweekend.com). Maybe your idea will come alive in a few weeks.
