System And Method For Evaluation of Literary Submissions

摘要

A system and method are provided for evaluation of literary submissions involving writers, readers, and editors/publishers. The method includes receiving registration data from writers, readers, and editors/publishers, and receiving a plurality of submissions of literary works produced by the writers. The readers are provided access to the submissions; votes are received from the readers regarding the submissions in a first round of voting. Finalist submissions and finalist writers are determined in accordance with the voting by the readers. The editors/publishers are provided access to the submissions, and auction bids are received from the editors/publishers in an auction with regard to the finalist submissions. At the conclusion of the auction, the winning editor/publisher for each of the finalist submissions is determined, so that each of the finalist submissions is published first as an E-book and at a later point, if desired, in paperback or hardcover.
