Can’t afford to send every author on a multi-city tour to promote a book? If your author has a computer and a webcam, you can do author readings for free by using the streaming video site Justin TV.
Justin TV is live and viewers can interact with those recording the video, which makes the event much more like a reading and much less like a canned presentation (a la YouTube).
