So long summer, welcome fall. The kids are back in school, the leaves are thinking about changing color, the days are getting shorter, and it puts one in the mood for cozying up with a good read or, even better, sitting down for a bit of writing on WEbook. Right now, WEbook is ripe with more ways than ever for you to take your place as the next great writing talent or one of the talent scouts helping to discover the next great writer at WEbook.com.
Three WEbooks Get the
Green Light for Publication
We heard the voices of thousands of WEbookers, who helped vote for their publication choices in the inaugural voting cycle this summer. WEbook writers placed more than 200 titles in contention, and community votes elevated 22 finalists into the top 10%. After careful consideration, WEbook is thrilled to announce the next three published WEbooks, written by more than 30 contributors on WEbook.com.

Animal Farm meets the modern realities

Here Comes Election
Day!
After nearly two years of campaigning, you
might have heard that there is going to be an actual election in the U.S. What better reason for WEbookers across the
globe to get those vote-casting fingers ready. Starting October 21, WEbook will
begin accepting submissions of complete, book-length works for voting and
publication. On November 4th, the day of
the U.S. presidential election, drop by WEbook
to vote for the next hit book. (We’ll
give you two weeks – until November 18 – in case you’re too busy on the big
Tuesday.)
