WE WISH WE COULD PUBLISH YOUR BOOK FOR FREE...

But that’s impossible. Instead, we are offering an incredible bargain. We’ve listened to unsatisfied authors who have published elsewhere. Our platform is based on what today’s authors want and what appears to be lacking from many of the larger self-publishing services.

If you are tired of the misleading claims, hidden fees, and unscrupulous actions that have given self-publishing a bad name, then you have come to the right place. We are here to acknowledge the changing face of publishing and take a firm stand against the corruption in this industry. Our fees are reasonable, and our services are legitimate and of the highest quality. Our staff is comprised of the most experienced and talented individuals available.

We want to help you every step of the way and share in the excitement of your completed project. Publishing your book should be a pleasant experience with an affordable rate and unlimited customer service. We have been in business for 23 years as a writing/editing service, and now we are able to offer the same quality and service as a publisher. Please visit http://www.aflairforwriting.com/XX-publish.htm for full details. Then contact us to discuss your project and all of the attention it deserves.

Warmest wishes,

Donna Erickson, Owner/Acquisitions Editor/Marketing Director

A FLAIR FOR WRITING EXPANDS INTO GLOBAL SELF-PUBLISHING

A Flair For Writing, Abington, MA is offering Publishing Services to authors worldwide. The company will officially launch in September, 2009 with an introductory half-price special offer (to qualifying authors).

Donna Erickson--Owner of A Flair For Writing, since 1989 and editor of five published books--and Production Manager Charles Davis (owner of www.charlesdavisart.com and www.davisimages.com) have collaborated on creative projects in the past and look forward to meeting the needs of self-published authors.

Erickson said, “We are a new, independent press offering products and services we find lacking today. The face of publishing is changing by the minute. We saw a need to offer a reliable and credible service, in contrast to all of the scams, frauds, and misleading claims from some other self-publishing companies. I wrote and published an e-book to help new authors avoid being scammed because I have heard too many ‘nightmare’ stories.”

With more than three decades of combined experience, the two professionals complement each other well. Davis will be in charge of book layout, production, distribution, and some administrative services, while Erickson will handle operations, customer service, acquisitions, editing, accounting, and marketing.

For those focused on publishing traditionally, Erickson recommends hiring a good literary agent who can get their manuscript into the right hands. Still, the odds of getting published are not encouraging, as they average in the 2% range. Among the names of famous authors who were rejected by a large publishing house are Jack Kerouac, George Orwell, and Sylvia Plath.

Realizing this, a number of authors (even best-selling ones) turn to self-publishing because it is quick and easy. “Nothing is cheap today, although we think our services are a bargain compared to most others,” said Erickson.

The company will be utilizing the highest quality services available today for book printing and binding. Their team of affiliates includes highly experienced and talented illustrators, designers, editors, marketing consultants, and public relations firms.

Erickson and Davis are determined to take a firm stand against the corruption that is rampant in the self-publishing industry, as well as inform and educate their authors. They will assist authors through every step of the process to help them succeed in their publishing journey.
