| NEVER BEFORE - ALL NEW - ALL FOR YOU |
More than just publishing authors, we want to encourage anyone who feels the need; no more than that, anyone who lives and breathes to write;
we want these authors to be read, to be published,
to be successful.
So we are extending ourselves to you.
WELCOME to the wide wild West of publishing!
A world where you don't need anyone's approval or deep pockets to make it happen.
You won't need anyone or anything but your own great mind, a lot of typing skills and a proliferation of creativity.
A place where if you want it to happen. It. Will.
{Grammatically correct or not!}

BACKSTORY...
Years ago, in a bedroom far far away a tiny publishing company was born. When that tiny company could speak, it told anyone who would listen about a dream it had to enable authors to be published digitally. Immediately. Around the world in under two, yes, two hours. People laughed. Scoffed even. The tiny company joined writers clubs and went to collective meetings with other authors and publishers. It spoke out at events to anyone who would listen. But the world at large turned their backs on the tiny company. "No one will want to read books on their phone! Or on their computers. People want to hold a book! To smell the ink on the paper. They want to butcher trees in the name of progress and learning and egotistically publishable satisfaction. Your digital world will never work! Let it go." But the tiny company quietly stayed the course. Expounding to anyone who would listen on the benefits of publishing digitally. How little money is required. How little effort is required. How quickly a written work can be made available to the entire literary hungry world. Alas, the ignorant have taken years to catch up. And now, once these former scoffers are here in the digital realm, they complain. They complain of how they still want to be seen in print. Of how hard it is to market their books. Of the lies they still believe are being perpetuated to the reading public and publishing companies on the glories of digital publishing.
They're wrong.
They're late to the party.
But THEY are not YOU.
YOU want this. Want to be published. Don't care how as long as it happens. You are prolific in your creativity. Words flow from you and you want the world to read them. That's why we're still here. To work with you.

HERE'S THE DEAL...
We will do whatever you need us to do to get you published. Whatever that is.
{WITHIN LEGAL REASON, of course.}
Do you need feedback? Done.
Do you need editing? Done.
Do you need someone to help you format your eBook in general or more specifically those nifty links in your digital book to the chapters to make it easier for a reader to access a particular chapter? Done.
Do you need major restructuring? Done.
Do you need a marketing summary? Done.
Do you need help with PR or marketing? Done.
Do you need guidance pumping up your author platform? Done.
Do you need an explanation on what an author platform is? Done.
Do you need an ISBN? Done.
Are you progressive? Do you want to make a Vook? REALLY Done!
Do you want to know what a Vook is and if your eBook will qualify as one? Done.
Do you believe you only have maybe 12 great paragraphs in you and you're not sure if those thoughts can be expanded into a legitimate book? Done. It can happen.
Do you just need outside encouragement? Done. {We actually love doing this!}
Do you need more convincing that this is the right thing to do? Done. Check out this article forwarded to me by a former lit agent who now so totally believes in digital that he's reinvented himself as an author. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kiriblakeley/2011/03/06/who-wants-to-be-a-kindle-millionaire/
It's time. For you. To be read. We're ready. To help make that happen.
THE NEW WORLD IS NOW.

You're probably wondering... what's the catch?
There is no catch. We're more of a catch and release company.
It's like this. We grew tired of being one of the keepers at the gate in publishing. But publishing was an industry, and by definition industry requires commerce and commerce requires exclusivity to address supply and demand in a way that reaps profit. But now publishing is the wild wonderful West again! Open to everyone. It's God like. Full of creativity. Free. Mostly. All you need to make it happen is heart. Sure. There's still competition. But there has always been competition. It's what brings out the best in people. Mostly.
So we're here. Like the love commune. Just waiting to be of support to you. There's only three tiny caveats.
And they are...
1 - You MUST be serious about writing and completing your book. The goal is to write, edit, format and publish. Not to lounge around half drunk for 3 years while you call yourself a writer and drunk dial us at 1 am.
2 - If we provide an ISBN to you, then we will have to discuss publishing rights versus copyright rights. Briefly, copyrights are the creative rights that you retain as the author. Publishing rights are the rights attached to ISBN ownership. If we provide the ISBN for your book, we will be legally responsible for the publishing rights, so we will have to audit your sales and accounting because we purchased and legally own the ISBN number attached to your book in this format. It's the same deal if you go down the street to your local printer and you buy one of their ISBNs. Whoever owns the ISBN also formally owns the publishing rights to your book. Luckily, ISBNs are required for each version of your works. So a digital version will have a different ISBN number than a print version or audio version. Similarly, if you make radical changes to your book, you can assign a new ISBN for the updated version without issue. WHEW! That wasn't so brief, but it answers the immediate questions and we're always happy to discuss this further and in more detail. And yes, you CAN purchase your own block of ISBN numbers to ensure you retain all of your publishing rights.
3 - Finally, we request credit for our work with you in your book. On the copyright page. If we edit, as an editor. If we publish as a publisher. You get the gist. Additionally, if you just like us and also want to thank us in your dedication, we're cool with that too.
So what do you think now?
