Want to get your book project funded through social connections, but haven’t quite found your audience through Kickstarter? Try Pubslush, a new social networking site for readers and writers.
eBookNewser has more: “It works is like a combination of free sample chapters and Kickstarter for books — readers can sample a chapter of a book and if they want to purchase it, they can ‘fund’ the project. The project only gets published, if it meets a minimum funding requirement (like Kickstarter, donors aren’t charged until the project is funded).”
Authors can participate by submitting ten pages and a summary of their book on the site. It’s a good idea to share the listing with your friends, but readers who already use the site can browse your work based on their reading preferences.
