Blooks = Blogs + Books
It’s a blogosphere truism: every blogger wants to write a book. US News & World Report has a boxed feature from its cover story (March 13, 2006 issue) covering the marriage of bloggers and books. An increasing number of bloggers are turning up as published authors, with some fantastic stories of major book deals (meaning $500,000+) being secured by the likes of the blogosphere’s resident Carrie Bradshaw clone, Stephanie Klein.
Self-publishing sites such as Lulu.com can help even the most humble blogger become an author. Why wait to be discovered when you can make your own book and force copies on all of your friends?
