From Kindle to the Silver Screen

Anyone who still doubts the potential power in being able to publish work in ebook format should consider Karen McQuestion.

Less than a year after publishing her books for Kindle, McQuestion (who was recently interviewed on Joe Konrath's blog, because she was outselling him in the Kindle Store) landed a movie deal for her self-published ebook, A SCATTERED LIFE.

For more details, read the GalleyCat interview with the author.

Clearly, not every author self-publishing ebooks can expect to get a movie deal. (Not every traditionally published print author gets movie deals, either.) However, even though your mileage may vary, isn't it nice to contemplate the possibilities?
