Contact from Harper Collins

A couple of weeks ago, along with eleven other Authonomy members received an email from Harper Collins. We were asked for permission to amend the short pitch and the author biography, so that HC could use our books as examples of the type of book on Authonomy. Nine of the twelve members have identified themselves, and we are now awaiting the next steps. I cannot speak for the others but I am curious to see how HC use this - I think it is more an publishing industry 'We're conducting this experimental site called Authonomy, and here are some of the things we found'. The way I see it is that anything that gets The Octogenarian Ski-jumper in front of more people who work in the publishing industry, the better.
