Excellent!

Nice! I really like this. Power to the people!

KA Smith 6/19/08 8:2PM

Compelling, interesting concept.

Matt 6/23/08 7:33AM

I like the idea, I voted you up...but it seems this concept requires quite a bit of trust on the writers part.

Durr 6/25/08 8:38PM

I like the concept. I'd wonder what the expected revenue model is or demonstrated revenue model is. Nothing better then being the broker in the middle of a creative field as you have unlimited inventory and no development costs. Thumbs up if they can pull it off. I sent to my mother as she has been an aspiring writer for years. Durrr

favorite line: "Everything in Toufee is click and point"

Matt 6/27/08 3:31PM

weak... seriously? we are going to democratize a creative process and water it down by letting ma and pa from bumfunk nowhere weigh in? I mena i guess if this is targeted to the middle america housewife who is trying to write the next daniel steel novel then have at it, but beyond that ehh I would rather leave the writing up to the writers. Also doesn't lulu.com already have a lock on the online independent publishing market? Their site is AWESOME.

Harry 6/27/08 3:46PM

Good pitch, not sure about the concept.

BJK 6/29/08 11:4PM

I think an integral part of a pitch is explaining how you are going to make money.... Did I miss it?

One Sentance 6/30/08 8:1AM

Sorry - no written pitch, no up vote.

lulu 6/30/08 9:22AM

down vote - sorry, why not just work with trusted talented people on my own and then use Lulu to print? This way our work stays safe and we publish what & when we want. we'll have more control over the end product too.

Fantastic pitch! I came away from it knowing what your company is about and you left me wanting to know more. Great job.

Fantastic concept, great presentation. Up, up, up!

Jen 8/14/08 4:22PM

Great Site, Clean Clean Code, all standard complaint, Good UI, Optimized, Good Content, Community (users) In Place, Apps and Widgets are there, All of the Prime Real Estate Space for Advertising is there, It offers a Product and a Free Service, its niched off of something people will do as long as we continue to exist, which is write stories....it is just as good (if not better) as any great blog out there and seriously people Perez Hilton makes money off his blog, this site is good bet. and for the jackarse that is worried about being judged by Ma and Pa!!! ha!! They are alot better than being judged by the 23 asst publisher who has partied her butt off every night of the week in NYC and passes over someones book because she was really too hungover to read any of it.......

jeff berry 8/19/08 2:35PM

i have written a few short stories . but i can't get through to webook why?

WEbook Sue 8/21/08 12:9PM

Jeff Berry..."get through"? Site is up at www.webook.com, and if you have questions or issues, drop a note at info at webook dot......

Jerry Consiglio 8/26/08 10:54AM

How does your site differ from Lulu publishing ? I am presently with Lulu and have sold some of my work. If I self publish a memoir on Lulu can I still submit it to your site ? If so at what cost ?
