What is iFiction?
NOTE: iFiction has been discontinued, because its role is now better filled by other
services such as
Draft2Digital
or
Amazon KDP. Not to mention my own
ReAnimus Press, which you might look into
if you need help with digitizing print books, or are a pro author looking to republish your OOP books.
My iFiction project predates all those -- I started it in 2005 -- so it was cool in its day, but
just isn't really needed now.
I'm still using the setup to
offer my own stories on my personal web site,
since, well, it work just peachy for that. (And does give me a larger cut of sales than the other options, since there's
no middleman. But that wouldn't be true for others if I continued to offer the service, since
I would be, well, the middleman, and that would remove the advantage. So this is just for my stuff now.)
Here's the original info, for historical interest (note that many of the links below no longer work!):
iFiction is like iTunes --
pay a small amount for some great stories.
You can read the first part for free, then pay an amount determined by the
author to read the rest. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex,
or PayPal.
iFiction stories are
direct from the author.
That means you are directly supporting authors you like, with no middleman.
Any author can sign up to use this free tool.
iFiction was created and is hosted / maintained by
science fiction author Andrew Burt.
