User Generated eBook Program Asks Writers To Help Tell The Story
SANTA
MONICA, CALIF. - (AUGUST 28, 2012): Mzure,
an established leader in interactive technologies, has partnered with
international eBook publishing house Osutoria Publishing to create Open Book
Projects, a
user-generated line of titles that will allow writers to participate in shaping
stories for a chance to be published.
“Mzure's
expertise in interactive technology made it an easy fit to bring these
principles to Osutoria’s eBooks and develop Open Book Projects,” said Chad
McNeill, US Managing Partner.
“This
collaborative, interactive reading and writing experience is similar to a gaming
environment where users travel through a narrative based on their decisions and
interaction with gameplay. Years of building open-world gaming stories dovetail
nicely into what we feel is a logical next step, a new form of entertainment
built on a chapter by chapter basis.”
Open Book
Projects is currently seeking aspiring creative writers who not only want to get
involved in the story- telling process but who dream of becoming published
authors. “Face” will be the first title launched through this collaborative
writing initiative and authors whose chapter submissions are selected will
receive a percent share of revenue generated by the “Face” eBook publication.
Submissions that are not chosen will remain the intellectual property of the
respective authors.
“As each
chapter is revealed, ‘Face’ will grow and evolve, “continues McNeill. “We don’t
know what the final piece will look like, or even what genre the story will
belong to, we only know that it will be a collaborative reflection of the
community that helps create it.”
Starting
today through September 18, Chapter two submissions will be accepted at
OpenBookProjects.com and will be reviewed by the Osutoria Publishing team.
Winning chapters will be posted and subsequent
potential
authors will then have between 2-3 weeks to draft and submit the next chapter,
thus continuing the “Face” story. Prospective authors and interested readers can
access the first chapter of “Face” for free at http://www.openbookprojects.com.

additional information and current “Face” chapter submission deadlines, please

ABOUT
OPENBOOKPROJECTS
OpenBookProjects
is a user-generated content program that is devised of a number of titles.
Launching with “Face,” OpenBookProjects invites writers to determine the story
line and create a collection of individual episodes that can be strung together
seamlessly to form a coherent story. OpenBookProjects was developed to give
writers and readers free rein. One person begins a story without stipulating
what happens next. At the end of every chapter, readers are invited to write
their own version and thus develop an ongoing story that continually takes new
twists and turns.
