Brazilian Author Serializes Novel On Twitter 2

cottagetrees writes "Claudio Soares, a Brazilian author and literary blogger, has launched an online publishing experiment involving Twitter, CommentPress, videos, music and eventually, the ebook self-publishing service, Smashwords. Soares has broken his novel into pieces, and is serializing it from the unique perspectives of each of the eight characters, each of whom has their own Twitter account. In an interesting twist, the characters will interact with their Twitter followers. This has the potential to create an immersive experience, not just for the community of readers that congregates around the book and its characters as the story unfolds, but for the author as well. The book, Santos Dumont Número 8, is written in Portuguese."
