| Vook, an award-winning ebook development platform, has worked with some of the biggest names in journalism to bring aggregated ebook content to readers and to help some of the country’s major newspapers bring their archived content to the ebook arena. But today, Vook announced its first original ebook title released from the New York Times. Written by veteran NYT writer Barry Meier, the book, A World of Hurt: Fixing Pain Medicine's Biggest Mistake, explores one of the little-known criticisms of the current state of prescription medications, namely, that some of the pain medications that were widely prescribed only a few years ago were not as safe as once believed. “Authors have the talent and the craft to write the original book—but they need support and creative services to bring the best possible ebook version of their vision to market,” explained Matt Cavnar, VP of Business Development at Vook, to GoodEReader. “At Vook, we provide cover design, copy editing, marketing support and merchandizing relationships with the distributors—as well as all the communication and management that goes into bringing an important book to readers—and our technology platform makes these pieces easy to manage. We handle the complications; authors and companies can stay focused on creation.” This latest collaboration with the Times is only the latest project that Vook has taken on with a media or publishing outlet. Other partnerships have included content production with Simon & Schuster, The History Channel, Google, and Newsweek Daily Beast. A World of Hurt is currently available for $1.99 from Amazon and iTunes.
