Pubslush Founder Jesse Potash On Relaunching The Crowdfunding Platform For Authors

Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 9.53.05 AMPubslush has undergone a bit of an evolution. The site is still a platform for authors to crowdfund the publication of their works — make no mistake. But Pubslush used to have a slightly different format. Users would post their book excerpt and summary onto Pubslush, and if they received enough donations from readers, Pubslush would pick up their works and publish them. Don't forget, Pubslush isn't just the platform, the company is a publisher, too. Today, however, the site is taking a slightly different approach. Rather than lock writers into a deal with Pubslush, the platform will work more like Kickstarter, letting authors gauge the viability of their work with no exclusivity to Pubslush. Of course, Pubslush can still cherry pick authors from the platform that have garnered a lot of interest, but authors still have the right to publish elsewhere.
