If you are seeking a publisher for your literary work, do NOT publish more than 10,000 words anywhere permanent.

Thanks to Hive account@thewritersblock and Hive account@rhondak, I was given some news about publishing a book that I thought prudent to share.

The blockchain is a permanent storage location, every edit to every post ever made is saved in the system, regardless of what is visible from the front-end. This means that publishers can find your work, even if it's not immediately visible. If you hold out hope of publishing your literary works, then do NOT post them to the blockchain.

Additionally, if you self-publish through Amazon, Amazon can find your content being produced for free and price match it. To make sure that you are absolutely safe if you hope to publish, DO NOT post more than 10,000 words anywhere permanent.

What does that mean for Incorruptible?

Understandably, this means that I'm going to be cutting the release of Incorruptible on this platform short and focusing on other short-stories from the world. I am still toying with the idea of releasing it on my website at http://incorruptiblebook.com/ and I'm still finishing the $50 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway that I'm doing, but once I reach 10,000 words I'm going to be halting the posting schedule here on Steemit.

I'm sorry for that inconvenience but I'm glad that I found out well before I shot myself in the foot, because I am hoping to publish Incorruptible once it's finished.

I hope this information was helpful to you, and please share it to help prevent other writers from making the mistake I almost did.

I'll see you on Friday for the next release.

Cheers, Mako
