WEbooks – a democratic publishing company

The CEO of WEbooks stood confidently in front of her company logo and gave a convincing elevator pitch about her company.  She clearly outlined that there was no place for people inspiring to become writers and her solution is to create a program much like you tube where the merit of the writing (instead of videos) is determined by the public rather than a few publishers in big publishing companies.  In this new democratic system WEbooks hopes to upend a 50 billion dollar publishing market.  While the CEO mentions ‘we’ she fails to mention others on her staff that might lend credibility to her pitch. In spite of that her venture sounds interesting especially since they already have 1500 book project underway.  The company’s aim is a little high with overtaking their competition of ‘mainstream’ publishing companies but it seems as if they are the only company doing bottom up publishing.  It is an interesting venture but, of course, I would like to know more.
