Crain’s covers HarperCollins’ partnership with Fourth Story Media:

HarperCollins Publishers and 4th Story Media on Wednesday announced The Amanda Project, a co-produced multi-platform mystery series that will be written in part by its audience, girls ages 12 to 14. Starting this fall, the story will start as a Web-only production. It will feature a social Web site that will encourage readers to interact with the lead character, Amanda Valentino, and even become new characters in the mystery. The Amanda Project will involve several Web sites and feature a series of blogs that will tell the story as it unfolds.
