Greetings of the New Year to you!!! We sincerely extend our very best wishes to you for a most joyful, bountiful and peaceful 2007. We’d also like to start the New Year by sharing with you a brief overview of us – so the next time you’re asked questions about what kind of publisher published your book, you’ll be able to answer their questions.
From its visionary beginning in 1997, Infinity Publishing came out of the gate as the leading innovative publisher, utilizing in-house high-speed digital printers to produce quality books on demand. Established as a true First Amendment press, all authors are welcome to originate a non-exclusive publishing agreement authorizing their books to be produced with the Infinity imprint. Infinity then distributes the authors’ books as ordered and pays the author monthly royalties on every book sold. Authors pay a one-time setup fee to have their book file added into Infinity’s unique “Just-In-Time” book publishing system. Authors not only retain all rights to their book, they also own the copyright and may remove their book from the system at any time. Authors have total creative power over the content of their work and control every aspect of their book within production limitations. Suggested retail prices are based on page count; however, with Infinity’s value-added feature, non-fiction authors may increase the price of their book. Authors are responsible for promoting and marketing their books. Infinity is responsible for producing and distributing books necessary to fill orders generated by the authors’ efforts. Most orders are shipped within 24 to 48 hours from Infinity’s on-shelf micro-inventory that is replenished as needed. Infinity books are guaranteed returnable from bookstores. Complimentary copies are sent to reviewers upon request. With over 4,000 titles by approximately 3,200 authors, Infinity is constantly extending distribution channels beyond traditional avenues. Infinity pays author royalties monthly. Infinity Publishing has two sister companies, POD Wholesale, a digital book printer, and Spoken Books Publishing, an audio book producer and distributor. Infinity’s publishing model provides an open press for authors originating the publication of their books, with Infinity’s ISBN registered as the publisher of record. Author-originated publishing is an evolving branch of the book industry, rooted in co-operative efforts mutually benefiting the authors and the publisher. The dynamics of Infinity Publishing is simple: authors write, authors authorize publication, Infinity publishes and distributes, and both profit from selling books – the author is out in front pitching, while Infinity backs up their play by promptly delivering books when ordered. Infinity produces an annual Authors’ Conference at Valley Forge, PA, where many of the leading book marketing experts, publicists, editors, agents, and publishing luminaries gather together as presenters in order to teach and network with authors who are interested in learning about book marketing and promotions. The focus of the conference is to provide authors with an energized environment, rich in useful wisdom with numerous networking opportunities throughout the weekend. This one-of-a-kind conference is for all authors, regardless of with whom or how they are published. Infinity’s 8th annual Express Yourself… Authors’ Conference will be the last weekend in September, Friday, the 28th through Sunday, the 30th, with a special Writers’ Day on Thursday, the 27th, at the Sheraton Park Ridge at Valley Forge, PA.
