The Baen Free Library is a Digital library of the Science fiction and Fantasy Publishing house Baen Books where (as of February 2007 [4] Additionally, he has been editing the works of several classic SF authors, repackaging their short stories into collections and fix-up novels. The resulting story collections have been commercially successful and have succeeded in returning out-of-print authors to print.

In 2004, faced with a persistent drain on his time[5] by fan-fiction authors seeking comment on the four years old 1632 Tech Manual web forum focused on his 1632 series, he suggested[5] to Jim Baen the experimental serialized fan-fiction e-zine The Grantville Gazette which also found commercial success.

Subsequently, Flint became editor of the new Jim Baen's Universe science-fiction e-zine while concurrently remaining a creative writer bringing out three to five titles per year. Jim Baen's Universe (JBU is a bimonthly online fantasy and Science fiction magazine created by Jim Baen (founder and long-time publisher After the stroke-death of Jim Baen, after completing the contract for the tenth Grantville Gazette, Flint founded a new website "grantvillegazette.com"[7] which is not only continuing to bring out The Grantville Gazettes, but increasing the publishing rate from four per year to bimonthly while paying better than standard magazine pay rates and is modeled on the JBU e-zine.

Electronic publishing

Eric Flint is noted as the editor of the Baen Free Library which was an experiment in electronic publishing (e-books in multiple unencrypted formats) where Flint and the late Jim Baen convinced authors1 to post entirely unprotected free copies of various works for download over the internet. The Baen Free Library is a Digital library of the Science fiction and Fantasy Publishing house Baen Books where (as of February 2007 An e-book (for electronic book: also ebook) is the Digital media equivalent of a conventional printed Book. James Patrick "Jim" Baen ( October 22, 1943 Pennsylvania – June 28, 2006 Raleigh North Carolina) was a noted Begun as an experiment to see if this increases the sales of their paper or (for-pay) electronic editions, Baen First Librarian, Flint published semi-periodically during its first two years a series of essays part blog and part letters to the editor tracking the experiment and championing the practice.

Financially, it seems to be working out for publisher Baen Books, as they have embraced unencrypted e-book publication for all their works available in a variety of common formats. Usually eighty to a hundred titles are available in the Baen Free Library at any given time. In most cases, the works involved are the early volumes in continuing series, appetite whetters, where readers might be likely to purchase later works in the same series.

All new Baen Books can also be purchased as e-books in the same unencrypted formats as the free library through Baen WebScriptions. An e-book (for electronic book: also ebook) is the Digital media equivalent of a conventional printed Book. As an added wrinkle one can purchase a monthly collection of five bundled works in the release stage of publication at Baen's. Once the bundle reaches four months from its scheduled release date in print, about half of the work is serialized and available to readers purchasing the advanced peek. A month later, the next quarter, followed by the last quarter, available about a month on average ahead of any printed work. The last delivery contains the copyedited e-book version of the book.

One can also purchase electronic Advanced Reader Copies (or eARCs) which are not a part of the forgoing monthly bundle, but are individually available for purchase. These followed a successful experiment with an online eMagazine, called the Grantville Gazette (More below—see 1632 series). An online magazine is a Magazine that is delivered in an electronic form The eARCs is an unproofed manuscript and is guaranteed to be full of typos and errors. It is pretty much raw from the author's word processor; however, they are fully available even before the first part of the monthly bundles. eARCs do not include the final proofed version. For the final version you would have to buy the single or monthly bundle for that book. in March of 2007, Flint began acting as publisher of a for-fee web-access version of the Gazette.

Flint is also helming Jim Baen's Universe (JBU), an e-zine that launched in June of 2006. Jim Baen's Universe (JBU is a bimonthly online fantasy and Science fiction magazine created by Jim Baen (founder and long-time publisher

Assiti Shards universes

The Assiti Shards refers to a literary mechanism which exchanges volumes of space-time with other planetary volumes of the planet struck which manifests as both a time-swap and place-swap for the two places affected—and more interestingly for the people occupying such real estate. The literary technique can be read about in detail in Assiti Shards effect, but when it first reached print in 1632, the technique spawned a huge surge of fan interest which is continuing to grow[8] now well over seven years later. In literature an Assiti Shards event, Assiti Shards accident, a strike by an Assiti shard, or a Ring of Fire, is a Plot device Flint had at least two other milieus planned utilizing the mechanism in 2000, but because of demand for works in the 1632 universe, he temporarily shelved them through the period 2001–05. They were known to be in production for some intervals in some part and manner in 2005–06, but the death of Jim Baen or other projects has apparently delayed them.

A 1632-style work titled 1781 featuring both George Washington and a Roman Legion and a more traditional science fiction work which will include Shakespeare as a character, By Any Other Name are now in the long production process at Baen Books (A book takes nine to twelve months after the author completes it normally to reach print at Baen Books) and these (two known to be under contract) are inexplicably delayed and overdue by that measure. William Shakespeare ( baptised Baen Books is an American Publishing company established in 1983 by long time Science Fiction publisher and editor Jim Baen. A fourth Assiti Shard effects tale, Time Spike was published in 2008.

In the late winter of 2005–06, Baen started listing all the 1632-verse books under the umbrella series title Assiti Shards series and continues to do so,[9] after previously listing them under Ring of Fire, for the only series thus far published, so 1632 (numbering 10 works in print, fourteen Gazettes (XIV came out in October 2007) and climbing rapidly bi-monthly) is currently listed on Baen's under the pseudo misnomer Assiti Shards series, of which there are (will be) four milieus planned, not just the original. Ring of Fire is the important canonical third published book of editor-author-historian Eric A misnomer is a term which suggests an interpretation that is known to be untrue Yet Amazon and Barnes and Noble lists "Ring of Fire" for some books in the series, and "Assiti Shards series" for others. As of early October 2007, the series name of the 1632 books is still confused; Barnes and Noble has seemingly grouped them under Ring of Fire series, Amazon and other web sellers are mixed, and the book covers of the last six hardcover releases avoid the question entirely on the dust jacket and artwork. At the moment, we use the term 1632 series, and other books in the series can be reached via that main article or by the navigation strip at the page bottom.

The 1632 series

Once also known on the internet as the 163x series, Baen for a time called the Ring of Fire series, and it is as frequently called the 1632 Universe or 1632verse; however it is named, it is a best-selling success with the 12th published work due in February 2008. The alternate history series starts when the inhabitants of a small town in the USA find themselves transported back to Central Germany . Alternate history or alternative history is a subgenre of Speculative fiction (or Science fiction) and Historical fiction . . in the late spring (May) of 1631 with no way back.

Baen Books is an American Publishing company established in 1983 by long time Science Fiction publisher and editor Jim Baen. These essays and the feedback were pertinent to the developing milieu along with input from other established authors — a massive case of collaborative fiction writing—the foundation for which was in turn in part being developed on Baen's Bar by those same fans commenting, manning the committees, doing research much like contributing to a wiki, and then submitting the results to Peer review and criticism on 1632 Comments or 1632 Tech Manual. Collaborative fiction is a form of writing by two or more authors who take it in turns to write a portion of the story.
