We are finalizing the launch of a new monthly e-zine for our authors, associates and interested writers. The first issue of the Author’s Advocate Gazette will be emailed to you in mid-February. This is not a replacement for the Author’s Advocate Newsletter we include with your monthly statement. With many publications switching to using only electronically distributed house organs, Infinity is staying the course with our printed newsletter while adding the reach of a new e-zine.Read more: The Author's Gazette - Infinity Publishing's New E-Zine

In the January 16, 2006, issue of Publishers Weekly, the Soapbox rant, The Problem with POD, is by Rudy Shur, founder and publisher of Square One Publishers. Square One Publishers specializes in adult nonfiction books, including titles on self-help and inspiration, finance, writing, New Age, cooking, history, and more. Ruby bemoans the increasing number of POD books that are beginning to find their way onto bookstore shelves, thusly displacing books published by small and mid-size traditional publishing houses.

I’d like to start 2006 by sharing our history with of dealings with Barnes & Noble, the world’s largest bookstore chain, and the unique dismal dynamics orbiting around once removed and now distant relation-ship with the bookselling giant. I’m writing this based on over 6 years of personal efforts to forge a win-win relationship with B&N that would have benefits fairly distributed all the way around.Wednesday, 07 September 2005 20:00

Infinity Publishing has been accepting returned books from bookstores since we implemented our liberal return policy almost 2 years ago. Mark Gregory, Vice President of Operations, said the number of books being returned under our unique return policy is considerably lower than what was projected and our total number of books sold to bookstores continues to increase.Thursday, 03 March 2005 20:00
Mainstream publishers acquire manuscripts they believe can be published and hyped into popular acceptance as a best-seller. They might release 100 titles a year and perhaps only 10 to 20 of their books will make a hit on the best-seller lists. The amount of the advertising budget allocated to launch a book is in direct proportion to the level of fame and the sales history of the author. Launch budgets for first-time authors are usually proportional to the advance paid to the author to buy all rights to their book. Most of their book marketing budget is spent to bring expensive media attention to their stable of proven authors with books that have a track record to support projected profits. Bean-counters love formulas for publishing books with the ability to produce a predictable return on their investment. The timing of when their titles are allowed to go out-of-print is determined by diminishing returns as profits—and also by increasing negative returns from booksellers.Read more: Authors Own the Copyright on their Published Books

Infinity’s unique Just-In-Time book publishing system makes it possible for our authors to do an updated revision or a second edition of their book at anytime. There’s no worry about what to do with cases of outdated books because there’s only an on-shelf micro-inventory that’s replenished as needed to promptly fill orders from, unlike a mainstream house that has to commit to a press-run of several thousand books... and then the publisher waits to see how well they sell before even considering doing a new edition.Read more: Re-Publish With Ease - Book Revisions, Second Editions and Copy Editing
