STORY IDEA:
How does a tiny local publisher reach readers in the Philippines or Africa? Technology. In past decades, only large publishing houses had the resources to get books to the masses. Today, anyone with Internet access can upload a novel to the connected world.

Still, getting readers to notice and buy is another challenge altogether. The big publishers still have muscle behind their promos, but with 15 years' experience — and about 130 book products under his belt — publisher Karl Beckstrand has carved out his own multicultural niche. Even big reviewers, like Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal have voiced approval.

And he's garnered awards. His 2016 Western book, "To Swallow the Earth" won a 2016 International Book Award. The State of Vermont selected his earning book "The Bridge of the Golden Wood" as business/financial literacy curriculum for grade schoolers. "Polar Bear Bowler: A Story Without Words" was called 'charming … full of … polish and physical comedy,' by Publisher's Weekly. "She Doesn't Want the Worms - Ella no quiere los gusanos" was named in the top 10 'Best Books' of 2011 by ForeWord Reviews magazine and was featured in School Library Journal.

This year alone, Beckstrand has released 17 new products. "Some are bilingual; many are hard cover editions of previous titles," he said. "I'm especially pleased with the audiobook release of my western novel."

So how does he get noticed? "I've considered bribery," joked Beckstrand, "but I have some standards." Really, it's persistence. After ensuring he had quality products, Beckstrand hounded the major book distributors used by New York publishers — and won signed contracts with large global wholesalers.
