Press Release Summary: Thanks to the internet and advanced technology, the book publishing industry has been dramatically transformed. Previously,authors of fiction and non-fiction books have chosen between traditional publishing or self-publishing. Finally there is now a new major alternative.
Press Release Body: For years prospective authors have found traditional publishing to be very disempowering. Publishing contracts in essence force authors to give up their rights to their book and, in turn, experience a slow, cumbersome process waiting for publication. Except for a privileged few, book advances are extremely low, royalties are also small and the responsibility for marketing the book is still in the writer's hands.
The advent of self-publishing opened more doors. However, the upfront costs are considerable, authors are committed to minimum book orders, and the marketing's still left to each individual. Very often, authors are left with hundreds of books piled up in the garage.
An innovative option is now available which has already proven to be extremely successful in other countries. According to Ellis Braunstein, CEO of Library24x7, this new alternative offers "a revolutionary approach to book publishing." Its many benefits to authors include:
. Retaining all rights to their material - now and in the future. . Printing their book with no minimum order - one or thousands! . Marketing their book in both print and digital formats. . The ability to generate both rental and sales revenues through a totally protected digital library system. . A patented digital book security system that imprints a unique watermark on each page to eliminate unauthorized replication; digital downloading is completely protected by state-of-the-art IBM technology - something PDF files can never do!
Library24x7 works with the broadest range of formats. "In addition to traditional fiction, our non-fiction topics span from self-help and technical through scientific, literary and poetry. We also accept dissertations, course notes, sheet music and other non-conventional formats," says Braunstein.
Another advanced technology innovation gives authors the ability to update and revise their material as needed, eliminating the need for extra reprinted editions. In addition, Library24x7 reaches out to libraries, universities and other educational systems, bringing sales as well as rental exposure for an author's work.
Library24x7 also offers authors four ways to profit through a partnering relationship. This includes: 1) Using the economical book printing technology and marketing through an author's own resources, 2) Earning 20% royalties through the sale or rental of an author's digital contents, 3) Earning 15% commissions through selling or renting other Library24x7 member's contents, and 4) Earning 5% commission on sales from writers in the Author Referral Program.
