In today's world, we share so much over the Internet and social
network sites, why not a book? Once upon a time, publishers were
reluctant to give contracts to authors who had uploaded their work onto a
blog as it was seen as previously published material. However, many
publishers have begun to take advantage of this method of communication.
They see blogs as a successful way to test market book ideas. More than
ever before, publishers are offering blog-to-book contracts. After all,
if Justin Bieber can get a recording contract from the number of hits
for his YouTube video, why can't you get a book deal from your blog?
