Share Your Knowledge with a Knol

Google has recently launched a new concept: Knols - little units of knowledge. The official definition from the Knol homepage: “A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic.” Well, there you go!

For all of my writerly friends out there, this is good news. This is your chance to share the knowledge you’ve gleaned from the hours of research you’ve done while procrastinating on writing your actual novel. Kidding! Seriously, though, if you’re now an expert on women’s undergarments from the Regency period, write a Knol about it. If you learned the intricacies of the political history of Guatemala, write a Knol about it. What a great way to get your name out there! And that can never hurt with selling books - whether you’re published now or will be in the future.

Get started by reading the quick “how to” page on the Knol site. And if you do post a Knol, please let me know. I’ll dab my eyes like a proud mother.
