Progressive Publisher Seeks Out of Print Books (New York)

2009-06-29T13:56:26-04:00

Our press is a new, progressive publisher whose business model is based on the need to change the traditional publishing paradigm. We are aware that many good books have gone out of print due to the limitations inherent in this older business model. In response to this, we want to help authors place their books back in print through an innovative mix of technology and marketing aimed at reaching each book�s key audience.

Currently, we are looking for well-written and well-documented books in two areas:

*Small business entrepreneurship that makes use of community resources in every aspect of their business models from idea to hiring to sales and marketing

*Volunteer projects that have proven successful in environmental protection projects

We only publish books in e-book format in order to ensure that readers can afford our books; that our books will stay in print; and that we do our part to reduce the environmental impact of printing books.

Currently, we would like to partner with authors whose books have gone out of print but who have retained their copyright. In addition, our potential partners would be willing to see their books updated and reformatted to take advantage of the greater benefits of publishing in e-book format.

If interested, please contact us by responding to this ad.
