Cell phones has opened another trendy door for readers-phone books. Not the yellow pages kind, but novels displayed on your cell phone. What's even cooler is that instead of you cranking out a 300+ novel and hoping to market it. You can give it chapter installments to subscribers. Wait for their feedback and write the next chapter. Better than Dickens. Faster and in the future another form of income. Question: If you could write a serialized novel for mobile phones, what kind of technology would you need to use to get that off the ground? Java based? Could syndicated blogs house it? What kind of story would you do? And would our readers go blind from the small print? Any other thoughts? Click on title to direct you to the MSNBC article.
Harlequin Romance has already jumped on the Vocel bandwagon...
Under the agreement, Vocel will develop what it dubs a "fun" platform for Harlequin, which will provide a variety of entertainment, from daily serialized novels by best-selling authors to romance-writing seminars. Subscribers can even help choose male cover models for upcoming Harlequin novels or use their cameraphones to submit pictures of their boyfriends as possible cover candidates.
