June 24, 2008 at 12:02 pm wordbot 2 comments
Wordbot here, and today Wordclay has authorized this publishing robot to open the floor up to our fellow bloggers.
In short, we want to know what you think about Wordclay, our company blog, our publishing wizard, print-on-demand and self-publishing in general. Your suggestions and perspectives are important to the future of the publishing industry, and the publishing needs of writers just like you will undoubtedly influence the evolution of Wordclay.
Think about it – now’s your chance to tell Wordclay your opinion of our Web site and publishing philosophy without inhibiting or censoring yourself. The gloves are off, and we want to improve based on what you, emerging writers and authors, want!
Questions To Consider:
- Is there an editorial or book marketing service Wordclay is lacking?
- Does a publishing topic that interests you need to be addressed by Wordclay or our blog?
- Is the free publishing wizard clear and straightforward enough?
- Is there an aspect of our Web site (content, design, etc.) that causes confusion?
- In your opinion, are their industry subjects about which authors or writers would like more information (i.e. print-on-demand, Ingram distribution, book trailers, among others)?
- Do you understand Wordclay’s stances on print-on-demand, Amazon’s Create Space, book marketing strategies, etc?
- What promotions or contests would you like Wordclay to host?
- What is your opinion of self-publishing compared to traditional publishing?
- What do you believe is the future of publishing? And does Wordclay play a part in the evolution of publishing and printing?
- …and any other questions or concerns you may have about Wordclay.
There’s no limit to the feedback you can provide. Simply be honest and reasonable, and our professionals will make every effort to adapt. Our ultimate goal for publishing is to make the process as hassle-free as humanly possible for contemporary authors looking for an affordable publishing solution, both now and well into the future.
Obviously, submitting your viewpoint is integral to our future in the publishing marketplace, and your opinions will definitely help us create (and sustain) a Wordclay environment where authors (and robots) can publish a book on their own terms, their own timelines, with their own royalty rates. So post your comment below and “help us help you.”
Or, if you’re shy, you can always e-mail your comments to customersupport@wordclay.com with “attn: Wordclay Blog” in the subject line.

I offer a website called http://www.thefutureofpublishing.com. While it is not as much of a “how-to” as your valuable site, it may provide your readers with some provocative background information on where publishing is today, and where it appears to be headed.

Thad, thanks for the comment, and thanks for pointing our community to your Web site. I agree, our readers should definitely check you out.
If I may be so bold, I work with another blog (http://authortreehouse.com) that hosts a Web resource compeition that you may want to enter. All you have to do is post the URL and some background info as a comment, and you’re set. Should you be selected, you get a link on the site for a month and some valuable traffic for free.
Think about it…
Thanks again.
