Publish Your Passion

Epublishing
Epublishing is on the rise. Many aspiring writers now self publish and market online and skip the traditional publishing houses. Amazon.com now includes a self-published best sellers list. With digital technology anyone can publish a book.
Writers might pursue a career in fiction, or they could write about a cause, topic, or issue that they may want to create awareness for or it could be a self publishing site for fiction. In this project, we want students to explore the world of self-publishing in order to promote their work, bring attention to their cause, or bring attention to an issue. The purpose of the work they create could be to teach, persuade, inform, or entertain. Learners can publish via a blog, wiki, web page, or even create a Youtube channel. The aim is to create a serious written work that aims for a large audience. This will not be a personal blog or Facebook type of page. It must be audience centered with a specific purpose and goal.
