Deaf Heaven: First Literary Cell Novel Now in SMS Format

A leading publisher has come up with the first work of fiction in SMS format. As stated by well known publishers Harper Collins, the novel titled "Deaf Heaven" by Pinki Virani, is the first literary cell- novel.

This goes on to prove that mobile phones can be an alternative for leading publication houses. The literary cell novel is now made available in 90 SMSes. The adult audio-mobile book can also be downloaded in two short duration downloads, using Reliance Mobile.

Talking about this first ever endeavour, Harper Collins India CEO M. Sukumar said "As publishers, we are always looking to expand reach and to find innovative ways of creating synergy through related media, so this is a first which will hopefully lead to several other experiments in the field."

Mr. Krishna Durbha, head VAS of Reliance Communications said "Our cell phone novel will introduce an interesting element to how novels are read; readers will get the entire book condensed into a few SMSes. The concept that a novel can also be 'read' via SMS and 'heard' at any time via voice portals is itself an unique and innovative idea."

The novel is an optimistic story based on a life changing weekend that culminates on the day of the total solar eclipse. This much in news book is also available in the classic book format.
