Two literary experiments

While little-known writers are writing a petition to the President with a request to pacify network libraries, and publishers are whining about the decline in sales of books that are sold out, two writers went to two different experiments in essence ...



Vladimir Eduardovich Kovalenko - announced, about nine months ago, a fundraiser for writing the 3rd volume of one of his books:
, , . . , , " ". , - . ( ). , , - ...
- , , . , , . . 30 000 , " ". , - , , . 60 000 - , , Creative Commons. " "-3
The experiment was successfully completed: the advance was collected before September, and last night a message was published by the writer that 100% of the sum was collected: the book will be released on Creative Commons!

The second experiment began recently Dmitry Mansurov Vasimovich, the author of a fun cycle about Kashchee. In fact - due to a quarrel with the publisher, the publisher refused to publish several books, continuing the cycle.
But ... The fact is that the publisher is no longer an indispensable character in a writer-reader relationship!
The book was posted on Samizdat with a link for those who wish to use the service prostobook.com , in which you can order the printing of the book you like, even if you have never published it!

So - not everything is as bad as lazy writers and arrogant publishers believe: to survive is quite realistic even in our digital age, you just should not stop at the ancient principles and try something new!
