“Democratic” publishing venture launched at Hay | The Bookseller

“A publishing platform which allows readers to choose what should be published has been launched, supported by Faber and created by “QI” writers John Mitchinson and Justin Pollard, and Crap Towns author Dan Kieran.

Launched at the Hay Festival today (29th May), Unbound.co.uk will enable authors signed up to the site to pitch book ideas directly to readers. Readers then pledge their support to an idea, from £10 to funding the whole book. When an idea has attracted enough support, the book will be written.”
