Nine New Illustration Styles to Delight Children's Storybook Authors Everywhere

March 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Solidifying its position as the leading self-publisher of choice for black/white books and now full-color children’s books, Outskirts Press, Inc. (www.outskirtspress.com), the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company, today announced a new suite of nine full-color illustration styles, bringing the total available styles to twenty-three.

For a limited time, all twenty-three styles are available for an instant 23% discount during an introductory promotion period.  Visit www.outskirtspress.com/monthly_promotion.html for the promotion code and deadline.

“Up until now, self-publishing an illustrated children’s book has been very difficult, even with the advances in print-on-demand publishing,” Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson states.  “Finding the right artistic style, negotiating rights with the artist, absorbing the expense, praying the artist delivers the artwork in a reasonable time  – these were among the most daunting parts of children’s publishing. It shouldn’t be that way, and now Outskirts Press offers children's authors an amazingly simple solution."

With twenty-three different artistic styles to choose from, twenty-one of them in full-color, one of the major obstacles to children’s publishing is now gone. Divided between two different pricing tiers for both the budget-conscious and the value-focused, Outskirts Press removes all the guesswork from full-color self-publishing. “Finally, it is economically feasible to publish a full-color children’s book,” Sampson continues. “The prices are affordable,  the artwork is extraordinary and the value is out of this world."

Perhaps most newsworthy, the author does not have to split their royalty earnings with the artist, which they would usually have to do with other publishers and independent children's illustrators.

In addition to the full-color Pearl publishing package and the twenty-three total illustration styles, Outskirts Press offers a wide variety of other publishing and marketing packages for just about any publishing need.
