Hey, guys,
I was reading a book on writing the other day, and it brought up an interesting point. If you post an entire novel online as you write it, and are intending to market that same novel for publishing, it might present a problem. When a publisher buys your manuscript, they buy the explicit right to publish that manuscript, and, if you've posted it online, it's already been published, and many publishers don't want books like that. They know readers won't buy the book if they can read the same material for free online. I just thought I'd warn you guys to be wary. Posting your stuff is fine, but if you plan on actually publishing it, you might not want to.
