Print-on-Demand, combined with short-discount distribution and Internet
marketing, turned the publishing business on its head ten years ago. Now
it's all about eBooks, especially Amazon Kindle. I've been writing the
self publishing 2.0 blog since 2005, documenting
how authors can launch their own publishing businesses and earn more from
their writing than they would with a major trade publisher. Small imprints
can invest their scarce resources in acquiring, designing and promoting new
titles, rather than gambling on tons of books that cost money to keep in
inventory.

Sarah Menkin Foner was the first woman to publish
a Hebrew novel, "The Love of the Righteous" - Vilna, 1880. "The Children's
Path" was published in 1886 with a dedication to Sir Moses Montifiore, and
is the first published children's story in Hebrew by a woman. The novella
"The Treachery of Traitors" is a Biblical fiction set in Second Temple times,
published in 1891. She followed this with "Memories of My Childhood" which
appeared in 1903. Her last published piece appeared in the American magazine
Shaharut in 1919, a short story of how she came to learn Hebrew as a little
girl.
