I just use the Gnu-FDL (that's Free Document License from your friends at GNU) and put my novel up for grabs. You can read it, take it, modifiy it, whatever. As an unknown author, your work is only as good as others say it is. Get an audience first. Then print on demand. You can check out what I'm up to with the Open Story initiative at the above URL.
