RE: Who wants to collaborate on a book of short stories and get it published on Amazon.com?

in #fiction6 years ago (edited)

If you self publish you can publish what you want as long as you own the rights (so even if you have had a book professionally published if the rights have reverted back to you you can self publish it), so publishing anything anywhere is not a barrier to self publication. Traditional publishers (or anyone who wants to make money from publishing) avoid publishing works that have appeared on the internet because if you can find it for free why would you buy it. But there are exceptions (Fifty Shades of Gray being the most obvious), and the rule is not unbreakable. By the way I have been told by the good folks in @thewritersblock that you can not delete what has been published on the blockchain. You can edit it but the original version stays on the blockchain and is accessible to people who know more about these things than I do. The edited verson is just added. So it would be like a pile of papers. The latest version is visable on the top of the pile, but the first version is always there on the bottom of the pile and you can not destroy it.
EDIT: that explains why it costs more resource credits to edit a post than to publish it. You are not just editing a few words but adding a whole new version of the same post to the blockchain, without removing the original
