Award-winning science-fiction writer# Cory Doctorow# maintains this site himself. The main page is a diary-style list of updates about Doctorow's travels, interviews and current articles. From a navigation bar at the top of the main page, visitors can dig into Doctorow's novels, nonfiction books and articles he's written for newspapers and magazines. Other sections include a biography and a recurring audio clip of Doctorow reading from one of his stories each week, called a podcast.
In one section of the site, #www.CrapHound.com/unwirer#, readers can view a story that was written online, a collaboration of Doctorow and author Charlie Stross. The story was written in public using a blog, with the whole process exposed to the public, so anyone could see and participate in the writing.
Doctorow publishes his site using the WordPress blogging system. Interestingly, Doctorow allows visitors to download the full text of any of his books for free. He believes the resulting word of mouth outweighs the danger of any lost sales.
