In order for the new imprint For young people Swoon Reads has published a new book, for her manuscript must vote the vast number of visitors to the Internet representation swoonreads. Com. The first book, which will be published in the outcome of the vote, became the novel " something a bit different " ( " A Little Something Different " ). The author of the novel is a 33-year-old librarian From a small town in the state of new Jersey sandy Hall. Excerpts From the manuscript of the novel Sandie Hall on the Internet representation Swoon Reads read more than 9,000 people, most Of which put the future of the novel, the highest possible rating: five of hearts. In the end, 1st edition books only in the United States will be 100 000 copies, and the premiere of the book will be held August 26 at the same time in the United States, great Britain and Australia. The idea of crowdsourcing search of ideas For books in a virtual " crowd " - the first time was announced in Macmillan in 2012. Gene Pavel (Jean Feiwel), senior Vice President of the division of Macmillan children's literature and the head Swoon Reads, States that she sought an opportunity to connect fans and readers that will be sold "because they " are often much more knowledgeable about such things, than any Of us." 237 manuscripts, published on the Internet representation Swoon Reads, from the time of its launch in September 2013 For publication, we selected six. For each novel voted registered users the Internet representation, which could also leave fragments of manuscripts explanations. In addition, readers Swoon Reads have the opportunity to vote for the best sounding audio books, to decide which cities will be the author's understanding of the book and to choose the cover. Writers whose manuscripts will choose get from the Swoon Reads $15,000 advance and royalties. in Macmillan this approach is called a mixture of talent publishing and nourish the hope of the success of the new approach. As in the case of the talent show, instead to present the finished product (singer or a book), first introduced with the raw blanks (other participants). In the end, to the final audience already familiar with the strongest contestants, which facilitates their further sale." This is not the first attempt at a large publishing house to explore the possibilities of crowdsourcing. In 2012, the division of HarperCollins, Avon Romance, also tried to use the resource of the crowd and launched a website For aspiring authors of novels on which they could publish their own work and receive feedback. However, Of five hundred published manuscripts publishing house until decided not to post any. Editorial Director of Avon Eric Tsang (Erika Tsang) in an interview the new York times skeptical analyzed the rating system: " very often for the manuscript vote relatives playwright ". Another attempt HarperCollins take advantage of the collective intelligence has become the Authonomy website For British writers, in which the authors have the opportunity to place their own texts and to explain the other texts. Of the fifteen, 000 manuscripts was published only fifteen. This casts doubt on the greater effectiveness of crowdsourcing web site than traditional search of manuscripts. An additional advantage of crowdsourcing is to assess the quality of the manuscript readers. After purchasing the rights to the journal of Roman sandy Hall writer and editor reviewed 200 of the comments left under the excerpts From her manuscript. As a result, in the book were amended. For example, if from the beginning the story was told of 23 different characters, in the final version was only 14." Testing your book online, you can better adapt it to the needs of the readers. This gave us some confidence, " said sandy Hall in an interview the new York times. http: //pro-books. EN/sitearticles/15393
