Mobile devices, the effectiveness of content marketing and exploding consumer interest in reading eBooks has redefined books and what it means to be a publisher. Non-traditional publishers such as news websites, research organizations, universities, sports teams, gaming companies, newspapers, associations and non-profits are become business self-publishers for 5 reasons:
- Mobile devices enable customers or prospects to carry your information in their pocket much like they do their collection of music.
- Online stores are search engine optimized to help bring you visitors you never would have reached through your own website.
- eBooks are a proven content marketing tool that replaces traditional advertising.
- $0 manufacturing costs gives you options for re-purposing your content-use eBooks as a marketing tool, to generate incremental revenue, or both.
- No gatekeepers: if you have an idea, you can publish it without permission.

Why not simply publish your information as a PDF?
Have you ever tried reading a PDF on an iPhone? It is not an engaging experience. eBook file formats (Mobi and EPUB) package your information as “reflowable” text—your reader can adjust text size and other format characteristics to fit their particular needs.
Pricing and Turnaround Time
Project pricing and turnaround time varies based on the editorial plan, eBook functionality and distribution requirements. Please call us to discuss your project.
