The OpenBuk Project is your dream in the making. This supplies you with a dashboard for easy operation. Gather notes, write chapters, and collaborate with teammates all within your project area.
A typical project takes up to 50MB of space total. Remember, most of your project will be text for a novel, which doesn’t take up much memory at all. We allot ample space per project in case you want to upload backups, your cover design, or audio notes.
What good is an incredible tool unless you know how to use it? An exciting part of OpenBuk, you will be automatically enrolled in our OpenBuk University where you may find tutorials on how to best utilize our services and ask questions to our experts. Check out special workshops and seminars by leading authors and publishers to further your career as an author.
Linking your OpenBuk project to a virtual classroom allows you to dynamically make assignments and track each student’s progress. Your students will receive OpenBuk Points which they can be graded on in the classroom.
As you add teacher’s assistants, grad students, and pupils to your classroom – your OpenBuk project will dynamically get updated – giving each group seperate roles. This allows you to organize your OpenBuk in great detail without needing to lift a finger. Your Grad Students will have the most authority on a project and be able to add or delete pages and chapters as needed. The teachers’ assistant will be able to revise work, but not actually delete any content. Then the rest of the students will be encouraged to contribute content. But knowing their level of work, you can choose whether to let them become published or simply upload drafts to the project. The choice is yours.
Never before has it been so easy to publish your book. With our E-book publisher, you can create a PDF file with the click of a button.
If approved, you may have your book available for purchase in our Media Library: http://media.themov.org. As your content is updated, you may click a button to automatically revise your E-Book that is being sold in the media library. No longer does your book have to wait weeks or months before it gets to consumers!
You will have access to your PDF for download and can watch our tutorials in the University to learn how to submit it to popular reading formats such as Amazon Kindle or the Nook.
Get your book noticed by top Agents just by being involved at OpenBuk. There is no submission process needed. Scouts & Agents actively browse our site for great content.
If you want to submit your book to tradition agents, we have tutorials in the University teaching this, too.
We are partnered with select publishers and it is rare, if not impossible to find a publishing house which will accept a piece of work that isn’t represented by an agent. Being partnered with OpenBuk is your foot in the door to major publishers as they know how well we groom our authors and present our books in finished format.
All scholars and University accounts have access to our on-site Publishing House where you may submit your work for review to various publishers.
Even so, the best way to get noticed is to BE noticed. Having your book in the Media Library generating great sales from your E-book will garner you attention from all areas.
As a publishing house, the only way to stay on top of the competition is to find new talent before anyone else. Here at OpenBuk, we offer Publishers the opportunity to browse our authors and their submissions with ease. A publishing account with us gives you access to statistics on author’s work, their contract queries, and Electronic Galley Copies.
OpenBuk opens an entire new age for publishing never seen before.
What better way to showcase your work than to have your own domain for your piece? If your book is
Brown Drawers of Alaska, you may have the domain www.browndrawers.com which will be your entire work. Your readers, publishers, and all others will use this to access your work.
As a University, you may want your OpenBuks to be apart of your existing school network or have them setup on a sub-domain of your existing network. You may have this as http://books.yourschool.com and reroute all students to this area when time to read. This is a great way to maintain professionalism while harnessing all the tools provided at OpenBuk.
The most prized posession by an author – a real book on real paper in your hands! This is not only feasible, but highly echonomical using OpenBuk.
