Here is a link to a website which I have immense respect for. The site is by a new writer who has completed his first fantasy novel but has yet to get a publishing deal. For the princely sum of $500 you effectively buy a share into he authors future earnings and get your name or message printed on one page of his final release. Should the author get his publishing deal and make it as an author the ‘shareholders’ will be entitled to a share of all future earnings to an upper limit of $5,000 per person.

The author has already taken a lot of initiatives in serializing his book as a free podcast, which can be downloaded and listened to for free. Whether Paul Storey makes it to the big time or not I don’t doubt for a minute that he is a creative seed about to bloom. I’ve put down my $100 deposit already, not so much as an investment but as a way of rewarding such creativity and initiative.
