Authornation.com is a new online gathering place for authors, writers, poets and their readers. Tom Gregory, President of Infinity Publishing and the guiding force behind the development of the newly launched website recently explained, “Our objective is to create an online community that’s absolutely free of any charges that provides an open public forum for a free-exchange of ideas between writers, readers and members of the book publishing community. We worked for months to design a astonishing website that is second to none in providing an array of networking and extensive exposure benefits for the members. Now that we have built it, I hope that you will come and become active participants in populating this author-friendly nation.
When you first visit www.authornation.com you’ll be amazed with the ease you can navigate around this well designed site. Membership is free and open to anyone with a valid email address – there are no hidden charges, no sale pitch from Infinity Publishing, no barrier-pages blocking access until you give up more information, no annoying pop-up ads. Every author is welcome to join regardless of with whom or how they are published. However, the news about Authornation.com is being published first in This issue the Author’s Advocate to give Infinity authors an early opportunity to join and become familiar with the many features of the website before the masses arrive. This will also give Infinity authors first pick at getting the username most befitting.
