A publishing model based on trust

You are free to download all the ebooks posted on this site. If you enjoy or gain value from your reading, I ask you to pay a one-off fee of £1.00 per title - comparable to a single royalty from a mid-priced edition.

In this way you will encourage me to go on producing work you like. I hope that you will also feel a personal interest in the book concerned and a connection with its author.

As far as I know, I am one of the first professional writers to adopt this publishing model. It somewhat recalls an earlier age, when the arts were supported by patronage and subscription; in operation it is indistinguishable from the modern model of shareware.

I believe this is a better way of funding authorship: the conventional model is inefficient, bad for authors and new writing, and unduly expensive for readers.

More about this idea.
