Press Release Body: Venice, Florida, November 2007

Traditional publishers reject up to 98% of all the manuscripts submitted to them.
Considering the fact that about 81% of Americans believe they have "a book in them"
that suggests a very large number of frustrated writers looking in vain for a
publisher. Worldwide it goes into tens or hundreds of millions.

The latest edition of: "Print-on-Demand Publishers Directory 2008", released by 21st
Century Research, helps unpublished authors get their books into print quickly at
reasonable cost.

A companion \"Print-on-Demand Printers Directory 2008\" prepared recently is designed
for self-publishing authors who can design their own books in print-ready format.

Thanks to the latest developments in digital printing new authors can publish
quickly using inexpensive print-on-demand (POD) technology. Our "Print-on-Demand
Publishers Directory 2008" helps them to compare and select a POD service best
suited to their needs and ability.

In recent years numerous POD services have come into being offering their services
to new authors. 21st Century Research monitors and compiles a directory of over 75
POD services mostly located in USA but also in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland,
Mexico, England, Scotland and Wales.

Entries in the directory include full addresses, telephones, faxes, and web sites.
It also includes information on contracts, distribution, royalties, prices and other
submission details. Street addresses are important particularly when authors are not
satified with the service and want to take action.

Authors can use this directory to compare and select one or more POD service. They
can choose non-exclusive contracts, keep all TV, film and audio rights, and
negotiate royalty and book price levels. Unpublished authors can forget the agents
and once published their book will never be out of print as long as it remains in a
POD database.

The \"Print-on-Demand Printers Directory 2008\" is designed for self-publishing
authors who can design their own books in print-ready format. They are familiar with
book design software and Internet communications and use POD printers primarily for
printing one or more copies of their books as these are required.

These directories are available at a price of $ 10.00 each($13.00 outside USA) with
free handling and shipping by first class airmail. Use your credit card with PayPal.
Checks or money orders should be made payable to:
