American Writers today have no excuse for not being “online”: This may sound harsh for those not there yet, but true. While many things can have a steep learning curve, basic usage of today’s technology shouldn’t be viewed as an insurmountable skill set. The rewards far outweigh the cost in time, patience, and added “utility bills”. It is part of the cost of doing business in the 21st century. Don’t want to invest in hardware of your own? Head somewhere with public access computers, such as a library or internet cafe, and ask for assistance. Whether you choose a free email account, or use social networking as the extent of your online empire, it is something that today’s readers have come to expect from living authors.

Whether you choose to add electronic material to a traditionally printed book, or produce a fully electronic book, think outside the box on what you may wish to include:
- Think of the value added to the book for signature collectors to have electronic copies of family correspondence.
- What will family members who are philatelic (stamp) collectors say about scans of handwritten envelopes with stamps and postmarks?
- Help set the stage of history by including copies of newspaper and other publication items from the family, geographical area, or culture.
