A new publisher, a new publishing tool, and a coupon!

March 6, 2020 by Nic Nelson Leave a Comment

I am always on the lookout for new publishers or new imprints of established publishers because they are hungry for new authors, new voices, unrepresented writers, independent authors interested in partnering with a publisher to reach a larger audience.

A Voice of Hope – it could be your own

Yes, there is still systemic racism in the publishing industry

September 17, 2019 by Nic Nelson Leave a Comment

The publishing industry is old, old, old. Most of the Big Five publishers in America have roots reaching back to the 1800s and 1700s, and Oxford University Press, the biggest academic publisher in the world, dates back to the beginning of book printing itself. The evolution of book publishing has been mostly that: gradual changes […]
