iUniverse Launches Express Publishing Package

Feb. 20, 2008 - PRLog -- iUniverse, the leading book marketing, editorial services and supported self-publishing company, has announced the online launch of its publishing option designed to accelerate the publishing process – the Express Publishing Package.

“The Express Publishing Package is another example of our ongoing efforts to increase and diversify the range of services we offer to aspiring authors,” said Kevin Weiss, chief executive officer of iUniverse’s parent company Author Solutions. “Most importantly, this offering meets the expedited needs of authors who have an event or special occasion scheduled in the next 60-90 days.”

Priced at $1,199, Express offers the same basic features of the iUniverse Select Publishing Package but is designed for authors who need to have their book available by a specific upcoming date. Among its many features, Express includes ISBN assignment, custom cover design, up to 10 free production-ready interior graphics, one free paperback copy and worldwide distribution through the Barnes & Noble and Amazon online bookstores.

Express joins other iUniverse offerings such as the Premier Pro, Premier, Select and Poetry Publishing Packages. In addition to its wide variety of publishing services, iUniverse also provides editorial and marketing services comparable to those offered by traditional publishers. Once published, titles are available for order from Barnes & Noble.com, Amazon.com, and over 25,000 retail bookstores.
