But what if there was a way to avoid some of these middle men and market books directly to consumers? What if publishers could supplement traditional marketing strategies with free online services? Thanks to AuthorsDen.com, a new Web site created by Matthew Miller, the path from book to buyer is considerably shortened, changing the way book publishers and producers get the word out.
