Today Electric Literature editor Scott Lindenbaum (pictured) introduced the literary journal’s newest venture, Electric Publisher–a licensed iPad and iPhone app platform for indie publishers and authors.
Here’s more about the project: “Electric Publisher is an affordable way for publishers and authors to create iPad/iPhone apps for a single book or their entire catalog. We’re a publisher. We built this system because we couldn’t find any app building service that met our needs … An app is a platform, and the larger a publisher can make that platform, the more powerful it can be for them. We’ve had about 20,000 downloads of our app over the past year.”
At our December 15th eBook Summit, Lindenbaum will give practical iPad app design advice during the “Digital Storytelling” portion of the conference.
