“I am very familiar with the self-publishing business. I have written and published four prior books using another publisher. But the process with the other publisher was very complicated and at times even painful. I picked Outskirts Press for my last book and it was a great choice. My Author Representatives guided me through the publishing process and the process was the most efficient that I have experienced. And you produced a beautiful book.” – Dale Cathell, author of Pete the Greek: An Entrepreneurial Life

Amp Up Self-Publishing Sales with the Barnes & Noble See Inside Option

Barnes & Noble has long been considered to represent the gold standard in bookselling, with millions of avid readers around the globe turning to its brick-and-mortar and online bookstores for their next riveting read. So why wouldn’t a self-publishing author want to harness the selling power of one of the largest bookstore chains in the world?Barnes & Noble See Inside submission

Now, you can turn Barnes & Noble book browsers into book buyers — by simply allowing online shoppers to view select pages of your book digitally from the BN.com website. Think about it: Where do your potential readers go to search and buy books? Chances are, unless they live very close to a brick-and-mortar bookstore, they search online. But viewing a book cover and synopsis online is not the same as browsing through the book itself … unless you enable a preview to get those readers hooked!

“See Inside” is Barnes & Noble’s online book browsing tool. It allows customers to browse the contents of books — just like they would in a bookstore — in order to help them make the best possible purchasing decision. The See Inside program provides an excellent preview experience to the customer to give them a true sense for the physical book and what they can expect if they buy it.

Self-Publishing Authors Can Now Go Green and Save Green with New Elite E-book Publishing Package

A new Elite E-Book Publishing Package from Outskirts Press gives self-publishing authors increased distribution that promises less impact on the environment and publishing dollars.

Outskirts Press, the leading self-publishing and book marketing service provider, announced today the launch of its Elite E-book Publishing Package, which bundles three valuable e-book distribution services into one discounted publishing package. The package represents more than 25 percent savings when compared to purchasing each electronic edition separately.

The Elite E-book Publishing Package is priced hundreds of dollars below what an author would pay for a-la-carte electronic publishing services. Plus, the increased ebook exposure means greater distribution and higher sales without the need for additional paperback and hardback printing.

While self-publishing authors can still choose one or two electronic formats, combining the three allows them to reach a wider audience of readers, many of which are loyal to one electronic reading device over another. Outskirts Press simplifies the process by offering one convenient and cost-effective package that includes three popular electronic book editions:

    • Amazon Kindle Edition: Only books that have been submitted to Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) in the required format are available for Kindle readers to purchase and enjoy.
    • Apple iPad/iPhone Premium Edition: This service allows authors convenient, full distribution of iPad/iPhone electronic editions of their own books through Apple’s popular iBookstore.
    • Barnes & Noble NOOK Edition: Inclusion in this virtual bookstore allows self-published authors to tap into an important, and growing, market of readers.
