A year of WOOL.

His name is Hugh Howey and just over a year ago he published a short Science Fiction piece called Wool. Nothing could have prepared him for the success that soon followed as he has spent the last year riding a wave that landed him a seven figure deal with Simon and Schuster for the print rights. He keeps the digital, or (e rights) which means a card carrying member of  the BIG 6 has experienced a major paradigm shift.

With this deal Howey is left with the freedom to manage the digital world of Wool as he desires. If you follow the link you will see he now offers Book One of the series on Amazon for free.

I've been following Howey and tracking the growing popularity of Wool for the past year and must say I've never been more encouraged to write and publish. Google his name and you will fined him everywhere. Check out his site at www.hughhowey.com and you'll discover he is a very genuine and down to earth kind of guy.

He is quick to say that of all the people who are blown away by the growing popularity of Wool, no one is more surprised than he. The latest development of  Wool comes with the announcement of.... a forth coming movie!

Who could have guessed? Last January he uploads a short story and today he has already earned in excess of a million dollars. I stated on the home page of my website, www.camdockery.com that what Gutenberg and his Printing press were to the 15th century, Bezos and Amazon are to the 21st. The former helped to ignite The Renaissance and the later...a Revolution. Gutenberg delivered The Bible into the hands of the reading public. That was no small order and it was truly revolutionary...Amazon has introduced a new means of publishing and in the process delivered what many say is to become a classic in the world of Sci-Fi.

I've never been much into the Sci-Fi genre, but  I did read Wool and liked it. I am also very much into reading, writing and publishing and believe these hese are exciting days and I can't help but wonder...."what's coming next?"

The purpose of this post is not to give Hugh Howey and Wool free advertising, but rather to illustrate the opportunity at hand. So, if you've ever had a desire or dream to write a book, or short story.... go for it. You never know, and the possibilities are endless.
