    Electronic Publishing

    printing press

    "I'm confident that print on demand is the future of the book business. Used at the point of sale, new POD technology -- like a prototype developed by Marsh Technologies -- will have fully integrated components and a cost of about $100,000 per unit."
    Jason Epstein, former editorial director, Random House.

    "I gravely doubt the value of a literary middle man...the essential trinity is the author, a printer-binder, and a vendor with a cash register."
    Sir Anthony Burgess.

    What do Real Peace by Richard Nixon, Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, A Time to Kill by John Grisham, and Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard have in common? They were all self-published. Today, authors have many resources when deciding to publish their work independent of the major houses. Writers Club Books helps bring those authors to print when their work might otherwise gather dust in a bottom drawer. The books below will take you into the future of fiction. The literary community will never be the same.

    Your generous donations to Quilldrivers will help us make available more information about electronic publishing. Thank you.
