Lawyers: Dust Off Those Unpublished Legal Thrillers . . .
. . . And put them out as podcasts. Sound crazy? Maybe so. But Scott Sigler's audiobook podcast of his thriller Earthcore has some pretty strong numbers, as reporting by Podcasting News:
EarthCore currently has 1,400 subscribers to the RSS feed, with another manually 4,500 downloading each chapter. Sigler's goal is to reach 10,000 subscribers, and use that momentum to land a publishing deal for a print version of EarthCore.
According to Podcasting News, EarthCore will be published in 30 episodes and is only available as a podcast. Sigler claims to be thrilled about the reception his book has received. We'll have to follow the story to find out if he realizes his dream of print publication.

Update to the story -- EarthCore now has over 5,500 listeners. All you laywer types sign up already. And if you know any publishers with more than an ounce of business sense, tell them this novel has a pre-qualified audience and gobs of word-of-mouth advertising already in place.
