“This was my first experience publishing a book, and I’ve learned a lot! Outskirts Press made the experience as painless a possible for me, and my author representative was great! The greatest lesson I learned was to edit, edit, edit BEFORE starting the process. That way, the publishing experience can be most efficient and there will be few, if any, surprises. Thanks, Outskirts Press!”Bill Taylor has been an ordained Primitive Baptist minister for twenty years, serving churches in Alabama and Tennessee as a pastor. This is his first published book, and it is the result of his having written and distributed daily meditations on various Bible subjects for many years. This is not a heavy theological commentary; instead, it is a practical approach to understanding God’s word and how it is still, “quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.”- Bill Taylor, author of Men Of Like Passion

Free Shipping for Self-Publishing Authors in May
Current Promotions for Self-Publishing Outskirts Press Authors
Summer is coming, and it’s a great time to start a pattern of selling more books. The best way for self-publishing authors to sell more books is to re-invest in their book. This means spending additional time and money on book promotion efforts — including scheduling book signings, arranging for book reviews, etc.
Outskirts Press published authors have many special discounts available to them this month to help boost their efforts. Here’s a bit of information about the discounts:
1.) Free Shipping Promotion — Through the end of May all currently published authors can get their books with NO SHIPPING COST. Now is the perfect time to stock up on books for your upcoming summer promotional efforts. If you don’t yet have anything planned you may consider contacting a Personal Marketing Assistant to come up with a solid action plan for this summer.
This is a limited time promotion, so don’t wait to stock up on additional authors copies!
2.) 25% off our NEW Kirkus Guaranteed Book Review option – This option allows you to get an unbiased and guaranteed review of your book from the book industry’s renown Kirkus book critics with the Kirkus Indie review service.
Requesting us to handle your Kirkus book submission normally costs $599. With the 25% savings (using promo code KIRKUS25), you will pay only $449.25. This savings is only available for authors who act during this limited time offer period. So don’t wait – act today to make sure you don’t miss out on this special summer savings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This service is only available to Outskirts Press published Diamond or Pearl publishing package authors.

“My experience with Outskirts from start to finish is a 10! I should add here that I have worked with traditional publishers (“Tricks of the Trade: A Real Estate Brokers Inside Advice in Buying and Selling a Home,” Adams Media Corporation, Avon Ma) and I have had a wonderful experience with them as well. This time working with Outskirts was an excellent call. I liked both the flexibility and the ability to retain 100% of the rights to my book. Working with the entire production team was a joy. I would recommend them and already have.” - Brendan J. Cunningham, author of The Seventh SenseAre you ready to experience your own success story?

Free Shipping for Self-Publishing Authors With Outskirts Press
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.

Save up to 50% on self published copies
One of the advantages of on-demand publishing has always been “low inventory.” Outskirts Press recognizes this by always offering our authors their low, below-wholesale author price on quantities of just 5 at a time. With Outskirts Press, there’s no need to buy massive quantities of your own book just to get a below wholesale cost.
But many of our authors are having such extraordinary success with direct sales that we want to support those wonderful marketing efforts by offering even greater savings for larger orders. Now, you can save up to 50% off your already-discounted author copy base price when ordering your book in larger quantities through your Author’s Center.

Specifically, full color (Pearl) books and hardcopy books in single order quantities of 2000 or more will receive a 50% discount on the author copy price.
Black/white paperback books ordered in quantities of 2000 or more will receive a 35% discount.
The discounts begin at 1000 copies for hardback books and full-color (Pearl package) books.
Let’s take a look at an example. A 24 page full-color children’s book that retails for $13.95 and has an author copy base price of $7.64 is already receiving a 46% discount. By taking advantage of the additional 50% savings, the author’s price drops to 3.82, which is an amazing 73% off the retail price.
To take advantage of these discounts, order the appropriate quantity in your author’s center and read the additional information that pops-up on your screen. This information includes details about alternate production schedules and turnaround times for these drastically discounted books. The quality remains the same superior OP quality you are accustomed to.
