Free Shipping for Self-Publishing Authors With Outskirts Press

02 Sep

Starting Labor Day Weekend and continuing throughout September, free shipping for Outskirts Press authors when they order books for delivery within the continental United States.

Just order 50 or more books through your author’s center between September 4 - September 30, and Outskirts Press will pay for the domestic UPS ground shipping. Orders must be single-format and the 50 or more books must be placed all at once in a single order. Yes, you can place multiple orders for multiple formats, and if each order exceeds 50, the domestic UPS ground shipping will be free. This offer does not apply for 2nd day air or next day shipping options. Nor does it apply for international shipping orders.

The more you order, the more you save on shipping. During these tumulus times, we can all use some savings. September is the best time to order copies of your book for the holidays to avoid the Christmas rush!  

Outskirts Press published authors who sign-in to their author’s center and order 50 or more copies of a single-format will notice that the UPS Ground shipping option for domestic orders is completely free.  No promotion code necessary and just a little thank you from all of us at Outskirts Press. Enjoy.

As a special bonus for our published Blog readers, the promotion has been already activated in your Author’s Center, so you can enjoy this free shipping promotion right away.

Leading Self Publishing Company Discounts Publishing Packages in Declined Economy

03 Mar

Even a sour economy should not prevent writers from fulfilling their dreams. In fact, during times like this, dreams matter the most and a 10% discount means a savings of over $100 with some packages.

Outskirts Press, Inc., the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company today announced that all of its book publishing packages are being discounted by 10% through the month of March to help authors achieve publication, even during difficult times.

“All that is required to receive the discount is entering a specific code at the time of payment on our secure website,” states Karl Schroeder, Director of Author Services. “This code allows us to understand the author’s situation in order to better serve them.”

Standard and Poor’s recent upgrade to Amazon.com’s stock rating to “investment status,” indicates growing strength in book sales. Not only are readers buying books, but self-publishing companies like Outskirts Press are revolutionizing the way books reach those readers. By expediting the publishing process and removing many archaic business practices, self-published authors are getting to market quicker and retaining more of the money.

“Our top authors each quarter continue to demonstrate that despite the economic climate, readers are still buying books,” Karl Schroeder continued, who went on to state that the 4th quarter 2008 author royalty payout was its highest ever. “This is a good time to publish and we plan to help authors accomplish that goal by cutting upfront costs. We want to see money back in our author’s pockets and back into the economy.”
