Great point, Adil!
I'm sure that steemit could have the power to help authors significantly in promoting their work. What would be missed so far (and that doesn't only apply to books) is a better organization and structure of content on steemit.
Right now all these pearls disappear somehow and somewhere in the depth of the blockchain. Even if you want to find a piece of content you've created on your own you'd face some difficulties in finding it in your own feed.
A "book section", "author community" (since communities will come), a "steemit exclusive first pages corner" or however we might call it would be a blast!
The comment section could be especially adapted for that use having kind of a "review" feature (like you find it on amazon). That would be of special interest for publishers, too. They might find some new and interesting talents there...
SteemBook - Exclusive insights into the future of writing.
And until we might have such a feature, book entries could be simply tagged with one specific tag to be found easier for "book interested" users.
Sorry for the long text :-D
Hey Marly :) Please never apologize for the long text, I miss talking to you :)
These are all great ideas, especially "the review section" like Amazon, I think this is brilliant!
By the way, looking forward to your book whenever it comes :)
Hehe, me too. My trip to NY and Vegas totally absorbed me.
But now I'm back - happy to chat again ;)
The book... is parked. However, the good thing about a mixture of fiction and auto-biography is that it doesn't have an expiration date. It only gets better by the time...:-))
