First One Digital Publishing To Launch 1/1/11
First One Digital Publishing, a new online e-commerce website with an eBook catalog, will launch in January 2011. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Karen Hunter created the company to address the digital reading revolution.
Hunter stated: “The digital ice age has hit. And publishing, as we know it, is the dinosaur.”
To promote the launch, First One is running a national fiction-writing contest, called appropriately the First Once Contest, in hope of finding “the next great American novelist.” The winning writers will score a digital publishing deal with First One, which will include a global marketing campaign.
Before they launch officially, First One Digital is calling on consumers to register on their site to receive special incentives for viewing and sharing First One’s viral videos.
