If you would like a chance to correspond with your fellow novelists on the problems of the genres, we are now sponsoring an e-mail list at the most full-featured list host available (since they absorbed oneList and eGroups). You can set yourself for individual e-mails, a daily digest of all messages, or to only read posts on the Web. This allows you to control the traffic to your mailbox. The basic rules are those of courtesy. No cost, no obligation.
When you sign up, be sure and vote in our running polls on the popularity of different eras.
About Project Gutenberg:
Since the dawn of the computer age in the early 1970s, Project Gutenberg has been dedicatedd not only to moving as much written matter as possible to e-text, but to distributing it as widely as possible. By concentrating on out-of-copyright work (or the occasional copyrighted work used with permission), they can give away free e-books. These are often the old books an historical novelist is dying to get hold of, to view vanished world they come out of. Many libraries cannot keep century-old books around because they must have room for fifty years of bestsellers. We all hope some day that will include our novels, but for research, the older books can be best, or at least a fascinating new window.
In the bibliographies, if you click on the titles or Project Gutenberg button, you will go to a page where you can download a text or Zipped text file of the book.
Happy reading, and remember that your monetary contributions to PG are tax-deductible. Honestly, even with volunteers, the expenses of the Project are not chicken feed.
If you use them, give something back: send a few dollars, or do some work.
