Centaur Books innovative
approach helps first time authors
If
you ever wanted to write a book, you know that getting published the
first time is very difficult. Today's publishing industry does not want
to "gamble" on "unknown" authors. That is why Joshua Tree Publishing
started a new imprint called Centaur Books where we specialize in
partnering with authors to publish their books. We specialize in authors
getting published by combining our resources in an unique formula which
allows the author to tap into our resources and 21 years of experience.
While you may wonder why we would take on such a task, the answer is
really simple.
We believe everyone has the right to express themselves in an
unfiltered way.
Centaur Books has the expertise and experience for publishing books. We
offer authors access to our experts—while our authors concentrate on
writing books. Publishing a book is a process. We guide our authors
through that process...from the initial preparation of their manuscript,
editing the book, designing the cover, formatting the text and cover for
the printer, printing the galley proof, and printing the finished book.
We remain committed to our authors and their success. Because if they
aren't successful, we aren't. And that is what partnership is all about.
But we do not stop there. We help the authors with promoting their
books. We give our authors access to media lists which specialize in
book promotion. We help out authors by providing information on book
stores, direct mail outlets, and alternative sources where they can
market their books. We offer training seminars throughout the year which
focus on writing, editing, and marketing books.
Joshua Tree Publishing's Mission
"I
receive calls from authors all the time asking me how do they get
published," John Paul Owles, President of Joshua Tree Publishing
remarked. "And more importantly, where do they start? What’s the next
step? How do they show the publishing world that their book is valuable?
How do they draw the attention of the major publishers? What does
self-publishing mean—and what does it cost? Who owns their book? What
are their rights? Originally, we provided consulting expertise for
authors. Today, we are a traditional publisher. With 21 years of
experience, we know how to publish books.
