According to an article in Times Online, the Headline Publishing Group will release a debut novel online and free of charge.

The novel, Contract by Simon Spurrier, will appear on the website itsallaboutthemoney in six installments, starting on the 24th May.

Piers Blofeld, of Headline, said:

“I think people will be excited to have the opportunity to become involved in helping a young writer’s career right from the start. It’s all about getting rid of the ivory tower and bringing writers and readers closer together.”

Readers who can’t wait to read the whole thing will be able to buy it from the website.

About Writing:

Let us boldly condemn all imitation, though it comes to us graceful and fragrant as the morning; and foster all originality, though, at first, it be as crabbed and ugly as our own pine knots. Herman Melville
