Is this 'HU Book of Ripping Yarns' something that could be a possibility?
All you need are 15-20 people, prepared and talented enough to smash down several thousand of their very best words, and you have a highly readable and inspiring bog read. One of those books that can be picked up at any page and still make your day better.
There are obvious fences to fall at, such as distributing revenue with a team effort, editing, pitching etc, but I am sure there is some way to produce a book that could get a few people a few extra pennies to help them on their way. It would also do no harm to the profile of the website if something hard copy could be put out there.
I am biased, because I am an impulsive writer, who has been throwing bits of everything I've ever done into word docs, but I still think it is a good idea.
As someone said in this thread (sorry I forget who,) we may not all have a whole book inside us, but just maybe some of us have one chapter?
