AuthorHouse Blog

AuthorHouse is starting off the new year with a special offer for authors who want to publish a book in 2008. All authors who enter into any AuthorHouse publishing agreement in January will receive a free author Web site.

“We are making this offer available to motivate authors to start 2008 off on the right foot and get to work on their book,” said Keith Ogorek, AuthorHouse marketing director. “Authors whose manuscripts are at all stages of completion can take advantage of this promotion.”

The free author Web site includes tools for providing real-time news and events about the featured book, content control features like active blog posting, and a portal where readers can purchase and review the book. Additionally, AuthorHouse hosts the site for free.

“A Web site dedicated to your book is an invaluable tool for promoting and marketing your book, and is a key part of our comprehensive approach to helping our authors publish, promote, and sell,” said Ogorek.

In addition, AuthorHouse is providing authors who choose the Standard Paperback Publishing option 20 free paperback copies of their completed book. Special offers are also available to authors choosing to self-publish children’s books and poetry books.

“Authors who take advantage of these offers give themselves valuable tools for promoting their books to the marketplace,” Ogorek said.

“I ought to write a book.” If you are a wannabe author, there perhaps is no better time than the present to put your thoughts into words and those words onto paper.

Print-on-demand publishers such as AuthorHouse (formerly 1stBooks) are making it increasingly easy for authors who are not named Stephen King or John Grisham to get their fictional and works and memoirs into print.

“Our tagline is ‘Get your voice in print,” said Keith Ogorek, director of marketing for AuthorHouse, which claims on its Web site to have “helped more authors publish more titles than any other company.”

Indeed several local authors have taken their manuscripts to AuthorHouse, which provides editing and proofreading services, help with marketing and sales, and distribution and royalty payment assistance — while allowing authors to have creative control over the finished product.
