This thing has been coming along for a while now, and now it looks like Xerox is going to be an official reseller which seems pretty huge to me. Xerox knows how to get machines out the door and keep them serviced.
Is there any chance of AuthorsBookshop.com leasing one of these bad boys and [...]

Well, we did it a little different this year. For the past few years, AuthorsBookshop.com has proudly displayed itself and bunches of indie books for all of Baltimore to see at the Baltimore Book Festival.
I decided to take a year off. I wasn’t able to commit to the whole weekend this year, and [...]

I would like to welcome a new indie Publisher Partner to AuthorsBookshop – and the IndieBookMan realm.

If the site takes off, [...]

Think what you will about ebooks and electronic publishing (and it’s getting harder every week to be bearish on it,) people are buying ebooks, and publishers are making money off of them. For the first time ever, ebook sales outstripped hardcover sales last month, and the trend is only going to continue. Someday, [...]

I would submit that if one is a writer he is also an activist.  The idea that a person is called to translate his thoughts onto the page speaks to the fact that there is some manner of passionate movement within him.  In this notion, I don’t believe that the genre in which one writes matters.  What [...]
