Democrasoft, Inc. announced that Democrasoft's WeJIT(TM) technology is now available directly to authors who are self-publishing their e-books. WeJITs, created by an author and embedded in an e-book, allows an e-book reader to communicate directly with the author, with other readers from within the e-book, and with new individuals outside the book, who can participate in book-based discussions, expanding a book's readership and reach. The WeJITs for Authors program (http://www.mywejit.com/wordpress/authors) makes it possible for self-published authors to embed WeJITs into their e-books with just a few clicks.

In many cases, published authors will be introduced to this WeJIT capability by their own publishers, working through Waterside Productions, who represents Democrasoft throughout the publishing world on a non-exclusive basis. The WeJITs for Authors program is designed to increase both new hardcover and e-book sales, due to the WeJIT's interactive nature and the readers' ability to share individual book-based discussions outside of the current e-book community. Readers can forward the URL for any embedded WeJIT discussion to anyone, even those who don't yet have the book and may have never heard of it.

New WeJIT participants then have the opportunity to purchase the book and other offerings, directly from the author(s).
