The New Books Daily

 

I have been running a feature on this blog called “Forthcoming Books.” Most Wednesdays I identify a book that’s due to be published that I think will be of interest to readers (and me) but I don’t always hear about new books, so there are lots of things I miss.

So today I’ve started The New Books Daily, using the amazing paper.li tool. It will search Twitter and Facebook for news about new books and automatically compile the daily. The first issue is shown at left.

If you have a new book coming out or know about a new book, just Tweet using #newbook or post on Facebook or Google+ using keyword New Book and, if it works, your comment should show up in the next edition of the paper.

About the author

I am also the co-founder and former editor of Prime Number Magazine and the editor of the award-winning anthology series EVERYWHERE STORIES: SHORT FICTION FROM A SMALL PLANET.
