Instantpublisher - Publish Your Own Book

Collierville, TN (June 1, 2001) Instantpublisher.com announced this week that their short-run book publishing site is ready to take a book from any desktop publishing software over the Internet and publish from 25 to 5,000 copies in less than 7-10 days.

Instantpublisher.com is the short-run book division of Fundcraft Publishing, a personalized cookbook printing company located in Collierville, TN. Fundcraft has published thousands of custom cookbooks for over 40 years in their ultra- modern production facility. Realizing that many authors want only a few copies and design control of their book Instantpublisher.com was formed.

The success of Instantpublisher.com is directly related to the simplicity of their custom software that will let any author design and compose a book with Microsoft Windows-based software, load the book to the Instantpublisher.com web site, and select publishing options. The software is a printer driver that lets your computer talk to our servers, commented Chris Bradley, VP for marketing. This free software ensures that the book will be printed exactly as specified. You will not experience the font matching problems which are sometimes associated with downloading a PDF file for Acrobat Reader. Each book can be viewed on the web site, publishing options selected, and the order submitted, all from the customer's home or office.

Self-publishing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the publishing industry. The best authors may not be initially published by a large publishing house but after their book is printed and distributed in published form, unknown authors enter into large publishing contracts.

Instantpublisher.com offers a unique feature: One of their free publishing options is that 20 pages of the authors book is made available to view on the Instantpublisher.com site by large publishing houses, bookstores and book brokers. Instantpublisher.com actively maintains a distribution list of thousands of qualified leads and weekly emails a new list of published books to this distribution list. If there is an interest in a certain book, the author is notified and can contact the interested party. This service is free to all Instantpublisher.com customers.

Instantpublisher.com does not buy any manuscripts outright, we pay no royalties, we do not market or distribute your books except for the free listing on our web site commented Chris. Authors pay the entire cost of producing their work. Authors have complete design control over the text, cover and binding style. The author holds all copyright and publishing rights to the book. After the first 25 or more is printed, the book can be stored on Instantpublisher.com secure web site for immediate reprints if so requested.

The cost of the book is determined by the book size, 5 ½" x 8 ½"; 6" x 9" or 8 ½" x 11", along with the type of cover and binding that the customer selects. Perfect bound binding is free; however, all types of trade binding from plastic coil to custom 3-ring are available. Anyone can compute the cost of their book using the simple routine on the website depending on the book size, binding style, number of pages in the book, and number of copies ordered. Shipping charges by UPS or FedEx can also be estimated. Final selling price of the book is, of course, entirely up to the author.

Instantpublisher.com also has a strong affiliate program with small independent printers. Now, printers can join the affiliate program and offer their customers full service book publishing. Commercial printers can even typeset the book for the customer and then upload the book to the Instantpublisher.com web site for final production.

The Instantpublisher.com source name, corresponding logos and other service marks are the proprietary marks of Instantpublisher.com and must be represented accordingly. Other company names that might be mentioned in the release are trademarks of their respective owners.
