July's "Liberate the Written Word" month is heating up. Check out the following exclusive books on
Scribd.

The French Revolution: A Novel -- What does a writer do when neither he nor his agent can get a
publisher to print his latest novel? Publish the book on Twitter and Scribd, of course! Starting today,
"The French Revolution" author Matt Stewart is releasing his novel 140 characters at a time via
Twitter. But if the idea of wading through 3,700 Tweets doesn't excite you, read the full-length version
on Scribd now.

A Story from One More Year -- It's not every day you can read a PEN Hemingway Finalist for free.
Check out the book that best-selling author Khaled Hosseini ("The Kite Runner") says is "populated
by imperfect characters who always surprise."

Say Everything -- Blogs can be catty, poorly written, and dull. However, the blogging medium has
changed the way people share information online, and when done well (e.g. 9/11 eyewitness blogs),
blogs can move you to tears. This book chronicles the rise of blogs and what online sharing means
for modern culture.
