Simon & Schuster has an idea about how to get into the digital world in a big way – find articles, novellas and speeches of between 15,000 and 40,000 words by its writers and authors to be e-published on the web. One catch, though – the giant book publisher wants to pay $1,000 a piece. ”I’m trying not to be outraged,” says one well-known S&S author who was invited to e-publish. But, this writer admits, the $1,000 offer is insulting, and far less than most established authors get for magazine articles that are usually much shorter. – Inside.com
