We have recently revived the WEbook Newsletter and will be sending out an update on WEbook to our members on a monthly basis... We have however been notified by some of our members that they noticed our newsletter had landed in their junk mail!! We've decided to post our newsletter here on the blog too so that those of you who missed out on the newsletter the first time around, also have the opportunity to enter our brilliant competition and submit your book for publication!

Name: Jeff Barr Penname: jgbarr Author Bio: Jeff Barr is a dark fiction writer from the Pacific Northwest. His work has appeared in Shotgun Honey, Encounters Magazine, and Black Treacle. WEbook has recently published his book, The Skunge! Jeff has been a member of WEbook since 2009 and has completed over 500 PageToFame ratings – wow! About ‘The Skunge’: In the heartlands of America, a desperate young man commits the ultimate sin and unleashes an insidious, creeping evil. A world away, a young girl with hideous secrets sells her flesh for money and power. A man with no name will bring them together, and the world will discover that the wages of sin are... The Skunge. To download a free sample of The Skunge, head over to the WEbook Store... August, 2014 Dear WEbook,  Welcome to the first edition of the new WEbook newsletter! Each month we will be sending out a newsletter to members, just like this one, to update you on what’s been happening on WEbook. This will include features such as current and future developments to the site, including the upcoming publication of new WEbooks. We'll also be highlighting member contributions to the site – because, really you are the most important part of WEbook! Over the last twelve months, WEbook has come a long way! Our new team of dedicated staff has given the site an entirely new look and, more recently, we’ve released our new mobile version of the site. WEbook's new mobile site was designed in response to the overwhelming demand for a fully functional and easy to use platform for our members to stay in touch with the community whilst on the move. We always love to hear feedback on how we're doing, so let us know what you think - perhaps a WEbook app?! The biggest change on the site has been that we've become a publisher! So far we’ve published eight fantastic WEbooks, written by members right here on the site. Currently we're on the lookout for new and exciting books written by WEbook members, which we can work, with the community, to turn into the next WEbooks - for more info on how we're choosing the next WEbooks, read down to the bottom of this newsletter. We’re sure you will all have noticed in recent months that WEbook has been buzzing with activity! Wow, you guys really have been working hard! Thanks to everyone who has been putting in the time to make WEbook what it is (that’s you!) – keep up the good work and who knows, maybe you could find yourself featured in the next WEbook newsletter!  - The WEbook Team Should we create a WEbook App?  Yes please! I write all my WEbooks on my phone anyway.   No thank you. My 1984 IBM DOS computer is sophisticated enough as it is...   I'm not sure. What's an "App" again? Poll Maker Sprayoncrayon Each month, the team at WEbook select a member who has made a significant, all round contribution to the site. This is judged on submissions, forum posts and feedback given to other authors.  Congratulations to Sprayoncrayon who, among other notable contributions, has in this week alone given a whopping 67 pieces of feedback! WEbook News There’s always lots going on behind the scenes at WEbook and here is where you can find out all the juicy details about what we’re working on… Spin by Nyree Wade, or NJ_Wade as you might know her, has been working on her book, Spin, for a while now – it’s an exciting Sci-Fi YA novel and we’re working closely with her to get it published as a WEbook. Nyree has been making good progress with the first final draft of her MS, and we hope to get to the final editorial stage in a month or so! Forecast Today, Mostly Deadly, is an action-packed thriller written by the author of the brilliant WEbook, Dasvidaniya Rodina. We’ve just sent the MS off for a final proofread and we’re working with D.S.Loren on a new cover for the book as we write! PageToFame, is still being worked on – we’ve been taking ages, we know, but we want to get it just right before we put it live, so watch this space! Crowd-funding – we’re working on a really exciting crowd-funding module which will allow members to raise money to go towards publishing or pre-selling their books - how great is that? Each month we’re going to give away five copies of our featured title to five lucky winners. All you have to do is answer the question below and email your answers to info@webook.com before midnight, August 31st - good luck! Q: In Camp 417, by Finnean Nilsen Projects, what is the name that the authors give to their zombie creations? Project Spotlight There are over sixty eight thousand active projects on WEbook, with hundreds more being added each week. In order to bring some of the best of those to the attention of the community, we will be highlighting our favourites each month:  Patient No 15 by astronope  Although this is a relatively new project, we’re very excited by where this story is headed (and a little freaked out as well!) What We Wish For by KatelynB  A beautiful narrative focusing on the pain of loss and how people deal with it differently… Have you ever wondered how you become a WEbook author?  Well we're currently on the hunt to find our next WEbook authors! If you think you've got what it takes to become our next author and you've also got a finished manuscript to boot, we'd like to hear from you. In order to be considered for publication, you'll need to have been an active WEbook member for at least 6 months; have a completed manuscript; and have the support of at least five other WEbook members. If you think you're what we're looking for, send a query letter telling us about your book and why you think we should publish you, to info@webook.com! Good luck!
