More books are being self-published than ever before, according to statistics just released by RR Bowker. In 2009, a whopping 764,448 titles were self-published. The number of books traditionally published fell to 288,355. Self-publishing is a great way for new authors who want to jump into the marketplace and now there is a new option offering more books, perks and control than the competition.
Ink Swift, a division of Emerald House Group is committed to helping writers achieve their dreams of becoming published authors without sacrificing any quality or control. “I’ve heard from so many authors who tried the self-publishing route and were very disappointed,” says company COO Timothy Lowry. “They ended up with an inferior product and very few books in their hands to sell. We created Ink Swift so authors interested in self-publishing would have a better option.”
In honor of the launch of InkSwift.com, all customers will receive a free book trailer video with the purchase of any package. This incredible marketing tool will be professionally produced by a media expert with more than a decade of industry experience. The video will be created with the goal of capturing the author’s audience. This limited time offer is valued at over $200.
Ink Swift offers three package levels, with prices starting at just $995. Authors can choose from Ink Essential, Ink Select or Ink Premium. “To ensure a custom experience, authors are able to add on services like websites, press releases and publicists,” explains Lowry. “We want to make sure people are getting exactly what they want.” So if you’re considering self-publishing, we suggest you check out Ink Swift.
