I've been mulling around an idea of mine for a bit and wanted to get some feedback on it. As most everyone knows getting published for new writers is often a challenge. Its probably more so for me because I write horror fiction almost exclusively and its not a great market.
That said I was thinking--hoping really--that I might try to open a website thats primary purpose is showcasing unpublished writers of that genre. For example it would have short horror stories and full length novels--which would run in a serial type format--chapter 1 on one day, a few days later chapter 2 etc. Hopefully once enough of a base is created we could generate some income via website advertising and sponsors to actually pay writers and in the meantime build up a database of readers who might like to purchase the books--which we could self publish and sell.
As I say the idea is in its infancy, but any comments good or bad would be welcome.
