I've taken that into account.

First, I don't plan to publish by traditional methods. When I finish the novel, the first few hundred copies will be available on a Print On Demand basis, which is cheap to set up and pays well on a per copy basis.

Second, I never planned to allow people to read the final chapter on line. Everything else may be there, but the final chapter will not. To see how it ends you will have to buy the book.

Third, I'm looking for feedback in these early stages. There are several very important parts of the story that have yet to be started because I'm still undecided which way to go with them. They depend on some of the material I'm presenting for review. The depth and amount of detail I include in my treatment will depend on reader reactions. If people want lots of little stories with lots of detail, I may wind up having to produce several volumes. Otherwise, I'll try to stuff several major concepts and a single story line into a single volume.

Mike Jasper may have a valid point. You might want to reconsider how much you publish on your website if you want to get Chosen published. Perhaps you can have selections available to the public in order to pique interest but have the meat of the novel password restricted.

Hey James. You may have trouble publishing your novel if you post most of it on the Internet. Most publishers consider a novel that's been mostly posted on the web as published material.

I'm trying a new discussion service. Please use it to leave comments concerning "Chosen" or anything else you care to remark on ... but please keep it polite.
