Main Street Flavor by K. Hahn
Books are judged by their covers, and consumers look at the cover of a book for approximately 3 seconds, on average, before deciding whether or not they are interested enough to look closer. That’s also how long a prospective wholesaler or distributor or editor or agent looks at your book when deciding whether or not to stock/order/buy/represent it.
3 seconds…
That is all you have to get someone interested in your book. After the months, years, or decades it took to write it, don’t drop the ball when it comes to the cover. Fortunately, Outskirts Press offers a variety of cover options to help. Yes, we let authors submit their own covers, although believe it or not, most authors are writers, not designers. And yes, we offer customizable covers that are already professionally pre-designed as a part of all our publising packages.
But for the “best of the best” for your book, the artistic custom cover option available with the Diamond, Pearl, and Ruby packages is the only way to go. For $299 you get what other publishers charge upwards of $999 for.
So, without further ado, we kick off a week-long celebration recognizing some of the truly extraordinary covers on the high-quality books published by Outskirts Press, presented in no particular order below. And if you think your cover has what it takes, submit it to the Random Book Machine to see how it stacks up with others.

Outskirts Press, the fastest-growing full-service self-publishing company, announces that its top-five earning authors combined to gross over $50,000 in royalties in the second quarter of 2008.

Not yet a published author with Outskirts Press?
If every successful author has a website, why doesn’t every author have a website? They should. And now they can.
Introducing the Enhanced Customizable Author Website from Outskirts Press in partnership with Cevado Technologies.
Not that you will need any help. The online interface is as user-friendly and powerful as they come.
Why does every author need a website?
How does every author get a website?
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… 4.
Step 1. Publish with Outskirts Press by clicking here. After your book is published, order the optional Enhanced Customizable Author Website from your Marketing Center.
Step 2. Your professional author website will be set-up for you, usually within 48 business hours, and ready for you to customize however you want with the amazingly simple online interface.
Step 3. Edit the content of your website with a familiar set of controls, just like a word processor.
Your changes are made instantly in a “what you see is what you get” manner.
While editing and adding content, you can also define the navigation controls, add pages, rename pages, and add images, whenever you want. Easy as *snap*.
Step 4. Next comes choosing your color and theme, and the new Customizable Website interface makes it easy:
Webpage vs. Website?
Yes, Outskirts Press has always offered a free author webpage with every publishing package, and we still do. Up to 16 different color/layout choices are available, depending upon your package choice. And you can edit the content of your single webpage easily and efficiently within your author’s center at any time, no programming knowledge necessary. For some authors, this is sufficient. It is certainly very cool. And with our optional Content Formatting option, it’s even more flexible and powerful.
However, for many authors one single webpage is simply not enough. They need a multi-paged, fully configurable website to promote their numerous books or to promote themselves and/or their careers.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
The professional, fully customizable enhanced author website solution from Outskirts Press.
Need help with your new professional website through Outskirts Press? No problem. Every author who orders the new website will have live telephone toll-free technical support to help them with their website. Tech support, hosting, and technical issues for these professional author websites is managed by Cevado Technologies, independently of Outskirts Press to offer the high quality website service and knowledge our authors expect.
The website hosting and live tech support that comes with each Website Option requires an additional monthly fee of $29, which is billed directly by Cevado Technologies once the optional Professional Customizable Website has been ordered through Outskirts Press from within your author’s center for the price of $299.
To order: Sign-in to your author’s center and access your Marketing Options page once your book has been published.
