THE BANYON BUZZ #3

POD's-Publishers for the self-published Author?


by: Jay Johnson

I've researched a number of Print-On-Demand companies nationally and have had the good fortune to invest in an author, Betty Bradford Byers (I published her 4th Novel, The Whitlow Sanction: Volume I), whose relationship with one taught me a few lessons I thought I had already learned. Although we've contracted for a trilogy and fully intend to fulfill that agreement, I found myself sending her back to her POD publisher, iUniverse, simply because I thought they could serve her interest better than my company.

I guess you'd say wow! Well, actually I learned that iUniverse served my client in a way that I could not match for her latest title, which followed our publishing of TWS. Cost was the #1 factor, and their end product is a quality piece.

In fact, I've become so impressed with their treatment of our mutual client that I have decided to make a special offer to all iUniverse authors.

For a limited time and as our capacity permits, I am offering all of their [iUniverse] authors a FREE listing on Banyon Publishing's 'Banyon Network' pages (including links to sell their books)! Even if they already have a website, I will provide them with a FREE reciprocal link opportunity. And in some cases I will provide a FREE basic 'book selling' website (while they last).

What's the catch? NONE! Due to the fine work of iUniverse, I (Banyon Publishing) will be focusing most of my energy towards making Banyon 'an Online Author's Community' where service and fraternity will mean something.

Sure, we'll still do that special project (perhaps a few titles a year), but for now we will focus on our author's community.

Also, we've begun to publish short stories. So if you're an author with iUniverse, YOU are welcome at BP.
