Ebook of BSSP Anthology Vol 2 now available
Written by joe melia Tuesday, 16 February 2010
We are delighted to announce that our latest anthology (above left) is now available as an ebook, on sale at Smashwords.com and Amazon.com. It will be on sale at more sites very soon. It is $3.99 (about £2.70) at Smashwords and $8.11 (about £4.80) at Amazon. Smashwords sell ebooks in 9 different formats (including standard pdf format) suitable for the majority of ereaders, smartphones and computers. Amazon sell Kindle versions for their own Kindle ereaders. You don't have to own a Kindle reader, however, to read the Amazon/Kindle version as the software is available for downloading to P.C.s (personal computers, Mac version coming soon, apparently) for free directly from Amazon.com. Please click here for details.
We plan to publish our first anthology as an ebook in the early summer and this year's anthology will be simultaneously published as a paperback and ebook on July 17th, when it is launched after our awards ceremony.
Ebook publication enables us to bring the writers and stories we publish to a much wider readership and to those who prefer a digital reading experience. We will be paying royalties to the authors for ebook sales, as we do for sales of the print versions of our anthologies.
Many thanks to Joshua Tallent for his help with this exciting development.

Amoungst the 100 writers whose stories will feature in the anthology are Joanne Fox, shortlisted last year for the Bristol Short Story Prize, Joel Willans shortlisted for the BSSP in 2008, and a member of this year's judging panel, Tania Hershman.
