Filedby is growing
Monday, May 18th, 2009By Paul Biba
It seems as if the author service, Filedby (why is everything one word on the net? Also, the press release says FiledBy, but the website says filedby, so I don’t know which is correct.) is growing. I received the following press release and thought our author/readers would be interested:
FiledBy has expanded its online author directory (www.filedby.com) by adding and linking together sites for co-authors, illustrators, artists, photographers and others who contributed to the publication of a book.
“The contribution of illustrators, photographers, artists and many other creators are important to the publication of books in a wide range of formats and subject categories,” said Peter Clifton, FiledBy CEO and president. “FiledBy now offers a platform for further expansion of their ideas and creativity on the web.”
FiledBy featured 1.8 million author sites in its directory before the latest expansion, which adds more than 1 million contributors whose efforts led to a published work.
Each contributor now has a free site that he or she can claim and enhance with photographs, a biography, links and multimedia (video, podcast or PDF). All sites are now linked to relevant contributors on FiledBy and include pages for each of their books. Finding and connecting with new audiences on the web is critical for authors and creators to be successful. FiledBy provides a marketing platform for those who do not have a web presence and provides additional value for those that do.
