A number of publishers have started selling books-in-progress, giving readers an early glimpse into timely content and a chance to help improve the works.

Moderated by Dan Gillmor--who created his own beta book by blogging his last manuscript--this panel will explore the benefits and challenges of offering works-in-progress.
