TURNING THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY ON ITS HEAD

How many queries for young adult fantasy novels about witches and warlocks can you possibly read before you are ready for the guys in the white coats? Thousands of authors send millions of query letters, pitches and proposals to hundreds of agents every year only to get lost in the shuffle. As trashcans worldwide are overflowing, SelfPublisher™ News aims to eliminate the waste by bridging the gap between critically acclaimed self-published authors and the literary agents who are tired of reading all those queries.

Arriving August 1, 2005, SelfPublisher™ News will be the industry source for the next hot property in publishing. SelfPublisher™ News will be your link to the latest undiscovered writers, who will shape the book publishing business for years to come.

“Lets face it. The book publishing industry is changing as many writers bypass the normal channels and publish on their own, and the major publishing houses are still being inundated with queries and proposals by authors who have not proven themselves,” SelfPublisher™ News Executive Editor Milton Stern said. “We aim to highlight the authors who have achieved success on their own and bring them to the attention of the agents and publishers who are looking for the next hot property,” Stern continued.

SelfPublisher™ News will feature:

Hot Seller of the Month: Exclusive interviews with the hottest selling self-published authors, discussing the writing process, their latest books, marketing strategies, and future projects

Sleeper of the Month: Exclusive interviews with highly acclaimed, well-received self-published authors who have not quite hit the sales numbers they deserve

Agent Highlight: Exclusive interviews with rising stars in the publishing industry

Authors in the News: A brief line-up of various self-published authors making national news

Book Reviews: Honest reviews of self-published books, including the good, the bad and the ugly

The Pitch Slam Pages: A two-page spread devoted to one-paragraph pitches from undiscovered writers

Book Ads and Features: A two-page spread featuring critically acclaimed self-published books that deserve national exposure

SelfPublisher™ News will be published monthly for only $4 an issue or $36 a year (a 25% savings). Conveniently delivered to your email box once a month in PDF format.
