Dear Media Contacts and Authors,

It is a privilege for me to welcome you to PublishAmerica's media pages.

Our staffers are all very proud to be using a new technology to bring the pride and pleasure of being traditionally published to thousands of authors. We have made national news, made the Guinness Book of World Records, we published more new titles last year than any traditional publisher in the world, and we are revolutionizing the publishing industry.

When Willem Meiners and I founded PublishAmerica in 1999, we were both writers who could not get their books published. Since then, by using new printing technologies, we are proud to have enabled many thousands of first-time authors to become published in traditional fashion.

PublishAmerica was founded on the premise that money should flow toward the author, and not the other way around. At no cost to the authors, we put our authors' books into their hands, and into the hands of reviewers. PublishAmerica operates on the exact same business model as do all mainstream traditional publishers, assuming all the costs and risks associated with publishing books.

PublishAmerica has made a tremendous impact on the book publishing world, and continues to push the industry boldly forward by being the first to popularize a fantastic new printing technology, called print on demand or digital printing. By using this printing technology to publish the works of first time authors, PublishAmerica is causing a revolution in the publishing industry.

This on demand revolution is occurring in many other industries around the world. In the movie and music industries, for example, this on demand revolution has already happened. More dollars are spent by people renting movies to watch "on demand" than by people going out to a movie theater. The music industry saw the same phenomenon occur a few decades ago when more people began listening to music in their homes than going to live performances. The invention of record albums enabled this revolution, where millions of people could listen to music "on demand." CDs and the advent of digital music simply made on demand music more convenient. Even the clothing industry is moving toward being "on demand."

PublishAmerica is causing this on demand revolution to march boldly forward in the book publishing industry. Using digital printing technology enables PublishAmerica to enjoy a wondrous success in publishing the works of first time authors whose works would otherwise stand little chance of being published. Although most published books are not stocked in stores, many PublishAmerica books are stocked. Barnes and Noble and Borders are our largest customers, followed by Books A Million.

I appreciate your visiting our site to learn how we operate and how we are revolutionizing the publishing industry. Please take your time visiting, and I hope you will contact us with additional questions.

Thank you for your interest in PublishAmerica. Let us know how we can help you.

Sincerely,

Larry Clopper
President
