Authonomy is a new initiative in the UK by publishers Harper Collins.
They say:
They have a ratings system for posted works. If you make the top 5 in the rankings in any month, you're guaranteed a reading by one of the Harper Collins readers.
I'm pimping an old book, Island Life, and a new one, Hunters Dock. Head on over and read some sample chapters.
While you're there, you can even vote for me
