Blogs Become Books
The blog-to-book phenomenon continues unabated. After only a few weeks online, Suzie Harris' "Dress to Kill on Ebay" blog has attracted the interest of a publisher, according to one blogger. This seems just too good to be true, but some other bloggers have received the same fantastic play including "Girl With a One-Track Mind" by Zoe Margolis (pseudonym, Abby Lee), "Blood Sweat and Tea" from Random Acts of Reality by Tom Reynolds, and Anya Peters "Abandoned: The True Story of a Girl Who Didn't Belong" from the homelessness blog, Wandering Scribe, published by Harper Element.BTW, here's another blog-to-book conversion service I missed in the other roundups of blogs-to-books: The Friday Project. They also produce CDs. I'm not certain if this merits a self-publishing label or not. The website isn't clear about that. If anyone has had contact with this company, let us know.

Hi Georganna
Thanks for the mention. We are a traditional publishing house (but small and independent) and have published 28 books to date including Blood Sweat and Tea. We are most defintitely not a self- or vanity-publisher and if you take a look at the 'about us' section on the site (www.thefridayproject.co.uk) it should give you a bit more detail. Hope this helps! Clare
a book from my blog would be a dream!
