Self Publishing Newsletter Announces $1,500 Book Awards

01 Jul
The Self-Publishing and Book Marketing Newsletter for July 1, 2010 has been distributed. You can read the newsletter in its entirety by clicking here. Here is the lead story:

 
 
 
 

The “Christmas in July” promotion announces the Best Book of the Year Award and your opportunity to receive $1,500! 

Simply order your publishing package this month and publish your book this year.  No promotion code is necessary.  If your book is recognized next spring as the Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year, $1500 will be credited to your account:

  • Consider it a refund (and then some) on your award-winning publishing package
  • Or use it to publish your next book (or two)  with Outskirts Press for free
  • Or use it to purchase optional marketing services or products to promote your award-winning book   

Regardless of what you do with the $1500, an exclusive award graphic will be added to your cover design as a permanent testament to your book’s quality.  Your book will be the ONLY book in the world that features the “Outskirts Press 2010 Best Book of the Year” award-seal on its cover.

Are you ready to start publishing and see if your book has what it takes to win? Choose from one of these two packages:

Here’s how the Best Book of the Year Award is determined.

1. To win the Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year Award, your book must be among those books we publish every year that win an EVVY Award.  The EVVY Awards are the annual independent awards held by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association in recognition of excellence in independently-published books.

2. Your book must receive an Official Outskirts Press EVVY Nomination from us in the fall, and you must accept the nomination, which includes the EVVY Nomination entry fee, the cost of the judge’s copies for your book, and the shipping/handling fee to complete your application on your behalf.

3. In addition to a well-written book, Official Outskirts Press EVVY Award Nominations are based upon 4 main criteria:

  • The book must be published with the Outskirts Press Diamond or full-color Pearl package
  • The book must have a custom cover
  • The book must be edited
  • The book must be in English

Only the top 5% of the books we publish are nominated for the EVVYs. We typically nominate between 50-75 books each year. Yes, that means once your book is nominated, you have at least a 1/75 chance to win the Best Book of the Year Award, although this is NOT a contest of chance.  Award-winning books are based upon the talent and tenacity of the author.

4. Your book must win an EVVY Award to be considered to be our Best Book of the Year.   1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place EVVY Awards are awarded in a number of different categories.  Yes, that means in order to be recognized as the Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year, your book has to win an award. Makes sense, right?  Typically 10-20 of our books win EVVY Awards.

5. EVVY-winning books published by Outskirts Press are announced in the spring at an Awards Banquet in Denver.  All EVVY Award-winning books receive promotion, framed awards, marketing materials, and other perks that are independent of the Best Book of the Year Award.

 6. From among all the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place EVVY-winning Outskirts Press books, the top 3 will be chosen by Outskirts Press to be the Best Book of the Year finalists.  These choices are final.  All three finalist books will receive extensive promotion in our newsletters and on our social networks, including links to the respective author webpages, book video trailers (if any), ebook or Kindle editions (if any), and any other marketing efforts the three authors have put into place.  Award-winning authors realize that marketing and promotion are a vital piece of success.

7. The ultimate Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year Award will be determined by the SelfPublishingNews.com blog readership in an open, public vote.  Yes, that means the three finalists hold their own fate in their hands.   The Best Book of the Year Award is meant to demonstrate to agents, editors, and publishers that the author has the talent and tenacity to excel.  Being a finalist means you have the talent.  Do you have the marketing tenacity to get the most votes for YOUR book in an open, public vote?  Leverage your Twitter and Facebook accounts;  email everyone you know to vote for your book; the voting will determine the most talented writer with the best author platform.

It could be you walking away with $1,500 and the Best Book of the Year Award!

Start publishing today.

While this is the first year of our official Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year Award, we did hold a similar promotion last December and you can learn about the book and author who won by clicking here.

Even if you don’t win the Best Book of the Year Award, you will join thousands upon thousands of other satisfied authors who have received top-quality service for their top-quality publication (and countless Outskirts Press authors have gone on to win OTHER awards, anyway).

 For all the Book Award details, and to hear from an Outskirts Press author in her own words, click here.

Leading Self-Publishing Service Provider Outskirts Press Pays Authors $300 to Publish Books in May

11 May

The most exciting self-publishing promotion of the year sees $300 added to the author accounts of every writer who purchases a Diamond or Pearl book publishing package from Outskirts Press in May.

May 11, 2010 – Denver, CO – Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 company, and the fastest-growing full-service self-publishing and book marketing company, today announced that May is “Mad Money Month” for independent writers.   Authors who purchase the Diamond or full-color Pearl book publishing packages in May are rewarded with a credit of $300 applied to their Outskirts Press shopping cart accounts.  The $300 of “mad money” can be applied toward any production option offered by Outskirts Press, including official copyright registration or custom cover design, among many others.

“Our authors have never let the economic downturn get in the way of pursuing their publishing dreams,” stated Outskirts Press CEO and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Semi-Finalist Brent Sampson during the announcement. “But there is no denying that a penny saved is a penny earned.  $300 in additional production options goes a long way toward making a great book a truly extraordinary one. That’s what we do at Outskirts Press. We publish extraordinary, award-winning books for extraordinary, award-winning authors.”

Mad Money Month also rewards published Outskirts Press authors with free UPS ground shipping within the continental United States for any single-format book order exceeding 50 copies placed before May 15th.

Leading Self-Publishing Company Introduces Nine New Illustration Styles to the Delight of Children’s Storybook Authors Everywhere

02 Mar

Outskirts Press, the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company, adds nine new styles to its growing supply of original illustration packages for children’s book authors, bringing the total choices to 23, all available for a 23% discount during a limited time introductory promotion.

March 2, 2010, Denver, CO – Solidifying its position as the leading self-publisher of choice for black/white books and now full-color children’s books, Outskirts Press, Inc. (www.outskirtspress.com), the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company, today announced a new suite of nine full-color illustration styles, bringing the total available styles to twenty-three.

For a limited time, all twenty-three styles are available for an instant 23% discount during an introductory promotion period.  Visit www.outskirtspress.com/monthly_promotion.html for the promotion code and deadline.

“Up until now, self-publishing an illustrated children’s book has been very difficult, even with the advances in print-on-demand publishing,” Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson states.  “Finding the right artistic style, negotiating rights with the artist, absorbing the expense, praying the artist delivers the artwork in a reasonable time  – these were among the most daunting parts of children’s publishing. It shouldn’t be that way, and now Outskirts Press offers children’s authors an amazingly simple solution.”

With twenty-three different artistic styles to choose from, twenty-one of them in full-color, one of the major obstacles to children’s publishing is now gone. Divided between two different pricing tiers for both the budget-conscious and the value-focused, Outskirts Press removes all the guesswork from full-color self-publishing. “Finally, it is economically feasible to publish a full-color children’s book,” Sampson continues. “The prices are affordable,  the artwork is extraordinary and the value is out of this world.”

Perhaps most newsworthy, the author does not have to split their royalty earnings with the artist, which they would usually have to do with other publishers and independent children’s illustrators.

In addition to the full-color Pearl publishing package and the twenty-three total illustration styles, Outskirts Press offers a wide variety of other publishing and marketing packages for just about any publishing need. Visit www.outskirtspress.com/art to see samples and pricing of the illustration styles now available.

About Outskirts Press, Inc.

Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 company, offers full-service, custom self-publishing and book marketing services for writers and children’s book authors seeking a cost-effective, fast, and flexible way to publish and distribute their books worldwide while retaining all their rights and full creative control.

Leading Self-Publishing Company Makes a Case For Previously Published Authors

02 Feb

Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 self-publishing company, invites new and established authors to “fall in love with publishing again” this February with a new promotion.

February 2, 2010. Denver, Colorado – Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 company and the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company, today invites new and previously-published authors to “fall in love with publishing all over again.” A special February promotion offering twice as many free author’s copies on select publishing packages seals the deal with a kiss.

“It is difficult being a writer today and having so many choices,” concedes Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson. “Authors who may have published previously are sometimes disillusioned about their experience. And authors who are still considering their options are often struck with a form of ‘paralysis’ out of fear of making the ‘wrong choice.’  This February, we want all authors to fall in love with publishing, like so many of our authors have.”

Authors who have previously published may experience an array of improvements when republishing their book(s) with Outskirts Press. Depending upon the previous publisher, these new benefits may include:

  • Authors keep 100% of their rights
  • Authors keep 100% of their author royalties
  • Authors receive below-wholesale pricing on their own books
  • Authors receive Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and Ingram availability all at the same price
  • Authors can receive Marketing COACH assistance for up to two years following publication

For authors with a manuscript to publish (or republish) in February, the choice becomes easier with the announcement of the “Fall in Love in February” publishing promotion.  Authors who assign their Outskirts Press production team to help them with their book in February will receive twice as many free author’s copies of their book upon publication.  The necessary promotion code is: LOVEx2

 ”With so many choices, it is too easy to make no choice at all,” continues Sampson. “But if you’re a writer and want be published, the only truly wrong choice is doing nothing. As Wayne Gretzky said, ‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.’”

Visit http://outskirtspress.com/monthly_promotion.html for all the promotion details and to hear from a successfully published author.

4 Top Book Marketing Strategies

28 Jan

In the continuing effort to further support self-published authors, here are four recommended book marketing strategies:

1. Add an Amazon Kindle Edition

No matter where you publish, or in what genre you write, you must have a Kindle edition of your book. This is especially true if you write and publish fiction. Finally, the Kindle has resolved the age-old concern that non-fiction is easier to sell.

Want proof? Right now, the top 2 best-selling books published by Outskirts Press are fiction books:

New: Now with a Kindle edition, your book can be available on the iPhone! Is the iPhone the “killer-app” the e-book market needs? Perhaps, and in the 4th quarter of 2009, Amazon took a big step in that direction by providing the free Kindle App through the iTunes store. With your Kindle Edition, your book is immediately available for sale on the #1 best-selling product on Amazon (the Kindle) and on the #1 best-selling mobile phone (the iPhone). How valuable is that?

Bonus for published Outskirts Press authors: You keep 100% of your profits from Amazon for your Kindle edition, even if you have us create and submit your Kindle edition for you. You can add the Kindle edition (with iPhone availability) conveniently by clicking here (and save 10% with the Promotion Code: RELAUNCH10).

2. Create a Book Video Trailer

Enter the 21st Century with Book Video Trailers, which are like Hollywood-movie trailers for your book. Depending upon where you publish, a book video can cost anywhere from a few hundred to many thousands of dollars, so do your research when you are picking your publisher.

Equally important is the level of online social networking and video distribution that comes with your video package. Yes, having a book video trailer is important, and uploading it to your author webpage is nice. But to really leverage the power of the Internet, your book video needs to be linked and viewable from all the major social and video networking sites, like:

  • YouTube
  • MySpace
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • …to name just a few…

It doesn’t matter how you go about getting a book video trailer made, and how you go about distributing it, just as long as you make it a part of your overall book marketing strategy. The Outskirts Press Book Video Trailer & Distribution option for our authors includes the creation of a Hollywood-style book video along with distribution to all those video venues listed above, plus others. Here’s an example of a book video trailer for a full-color, fully-illustrated book from Outskirts Press:

Bonus for published Outskirts Press authors: You can save 10% on the Book Video Trailer option by clicking here and entering the Promotion Code: RELAUNCH10 in your shopping cart.

3. Add an Audio Excerpt to iTunes

Speaking of the iPhone and iTunes, it is equally important that you have an audio file distributed through iTunes that either discusses your book or features an audio sample of someone reading from your book. By submitting the audio file through RSS distribution and iTunes with keywords, you increase the chances of potential customers learning about your book (or even stumbling accidentally upon it) in a wide variety of venues and platforms.

For example, select Outskirts Press authors have the option of adding the Enhanced Audio Excerpt with iTunes Distribution. This optional marketing service offers a two to three minute audio recording of a section from the author’s book, recorded by book marketing guru and Blog Talk Radio host Sally Shields. Not only is this option ideal for authors who may not like the sound of their own voice, but the Enhanced Audio Excerpt is distributed and syndicated just like a Podcast, which includes availability on multiple content sites, including iTunes.

Published Outskirts Press authors can save 10% on the Enhanced Audio Excerpt option right now and receive a free 30-minute telephone marketing consultation with Sally Shields. Order from your Author’s Center by clicking here and enter the the Promotion Code: RELAUNCH10 in your shopping cart.

4. Complete a media kit, marketing plan, and promotional schedule – Put it all on a CD that you can mail to the press

Recognizing the value and necessity of live, 1-on-1 marketing consultation, Outskirts Press has also added the free 30-minute marketing call to its CD Media/Press Kit option. The Outskirts Press Personal Marketing Assistant can now help published Outskirts Press authors complete their personalized marketing plans and promotional calendars to be included in the customized CD Media/Press Kits.

Included on the CD are a professionally written press release, an author biography and book summary, a marketing plan and promotional calendar, a high-resolution author image (if provided by the author), and a secure e-book edition of the book.

Even if you have published elsewhere, a media/press kit is an important component to an overall book marketing strategy. If you cannot produce a professional, customized CD like the one available for Outskirts Press authors, at least put the necessary elements on your author webpage.

Published Outskirts Press authors can save 10% on their custom CD Media/Press Kit and receive a free 30-minute telephone consultation with a Personal Marketing Assistant when they enter Promotion Code:RELAUNCH10 at the time of ordering the CD Media/Press Kit.

The 10% discount code for these options will expire in February, so now is the time to order from your secure Author’s Center
by clicking here.

Leading Self-Publishing Company Offers Free Publishing and an Advance to One Talented Author During the Holidays

01 Dec

December 1, 2009 – Denver, CO – Outskirts Press, the fastest growing full-service self-publishing and book marketing company, today announced an exciting opportunity for all authors with completed manuscripts.   Self-publishing authors who submit their completed manuscript, applicable promotion code, and full publishing package payment to Outskirts Press during the month of December will be automatically eligible to receive their publishing package free, courtesy of Outskirts Press, along with an advance.

All eligible manuscripts will be reviewed by the Outskirts Press review department, and exemplary manuscripts will be watched throughout the publishing process by Outskirts Press executives.  The author of the “best” book, as determined by Outskirts Press when the book is published, will receive a 110% credit of the publishing package fee.

“In essence, the 110% credit is a way for the author to receive a free publishing package AND an advance, similar to a traditional publishing deal,” stated Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson when the announcement was made.  “The core difference, of course, is that unlike traditional publishers, Outskirts Press authors always maintain 100% of the rights to their manuscript and receive 100% of the profit from book sales.”

Is this the best of both worlds between traditional publication and self-publishing?  Even better… Outskirts Press publishes approximately 150 different books each month, making the odds for being accepted as the “best” book more in authors’ favor than if they were to submit an unsolicited manuscript to a traditional publishing house.  Additionally, the criteria being used to determine the “best” book will be similar to what conventional publishing companies use when determining whether to accept a manuscript.

“Certainly the strength of the writing will play a pivotal role,” continued Brent Sampson, “although the overall promise of a book is always based upon the sum of its parts. In addition to quality writing, we will be looking at the copyediting, the book’s interior and cover design, and the marketing pieces being put into place by the author.”

Fortunately for authors participating in this opportunity, Outskirts Press offers several optional services geared toward improving manuscripts, including editing and custom cover design services, along with post-publication services and products to help launch the publication into the marketplace.    

Talented authors who have been waiting for the right time to publish, but dislike the idea of “paying for publishing” owe it to themselves to check out all the details of this one-month opportunity at Outskirts Press. Visit http://outskirtspress.com/monthly_promotion.html for all the details and necessary promotion code.

About Outskirts Press, Inc.: 

Outskirts Press, Inc. offers full service, custom self-publishing services for authors seeking a cost-effective, fast, and flexible way to publish and distribute their books worldwide while retaining all their rights and full creative control.  Available for authors globally at www.outskirtspress.com and located on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado, Outskirts Press represents the future of book publishing, today.
