Publetariat Vault Opens For Search

Oct. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- The Publetariat Vault  , the groundbreaking new service that connects successful self-published books with publishers and content producers, has opened its virtual doors to publishing professionals and producers. From the site:

The Publetariat Vault is your "ear to the ground" for self-published books readers are talking, tweeting, posting and blogging about. The Vault is a searchable, online database of self-published books for which the authors own all rights free and clear and are interested in selling those rights, which includes not only standard catalog data, synopsis and excerpt, but actual sales and reader/blogger/editorial review data as well. This makes it easy to find self-published books meeting your specific content and marketing criteria, and then determine if those books already have traction in the marketplace. The  Inktip Executive Index (not affiliated with Publetariat or the Vault) provides the same sort of service for spec screenplays and has been very successful in connecting screenplays with top producers for many years.

Literary agent and Litopia founder Peter Cox has agreed to offer representation services to any Vault authors who receive offers for their books and don’t already have an agent. Cox says, “The Publetariat Vault is an inspired and much-needed idea. Until now, there was no easy way – in fact, no way at all – for the publishing business to discover tomorrow’s rising stars in the burgeoning self-publishing sector. But now there is - The Publetariat Vault makes it easy for publishers to spot the hottest manuscripts that have real traction in the market. It’s brilliant!”
