We are a book publisher who put our trust in the big league of unknown authors. They are the great creative force that have carried and lifted America's imagination into the new millennium. Our publishing company believes that writers are artists with a mission and a message. They knew who their readership would be while they were conceiving their book. They had and have a dream, and PublishAmerica is the publishing company that provides the field where those dreams will grow and bear fruit, and where the people will come that the authors had in mind. PublishAmerica's founders had a dream, too, back when they started the publishing company in 1999. They had been around in publishing for many years, and they had seen, firsthand, the hardships involved with getting a book publisher interested in one's book. They figured that, if they did it right, they could over time maybe serve as many as a thousand new authors who, without them, would have no serious shot at getting their books published the traditional way: full availability to all bookstores, through the best possible distribution channels (Ingram, Baker&Taylor, etc.), top quality books, first rate art design, individual author support and attention, and of course no author fees at any time, ever. The founders were right, even more so than they had thought. Now in its eighth year of steady growth, PublishAmerica serves more than twenty thousand authors. It specializes in books about, or by, people who face and overcome hardships and obstacles in life (both fictional and nonfictional), and who turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Among their list of titles there are many genuine gems of high literary quality, which has been recognized by professional reviewers in literally thousands of reviews. Because it took full advantage of the latest printing technology before any other traditional publisher did, the company can afford to sell all copies of a book on a non-returnable basis, now that each copy can be printed in accordance with real demand. However, PublishAmerica titles are often returnable anyway, which allows bookstores to return unsold copies ordered through the nation's largest book wholesaler Ingram, as part of an ongoing returnability experiment that affects many thousands of book titles. As announced when initiated, this experiment may be calibrated or discontinued at the publisher's discretion. Ingram's chairman John Ingram stated recently, "Having worked with PublishAmerica throughout its six-year history of steady growth, I am proud to be associated with such a forward thinking company that is bringing the reality of traditional book publishing to many thousands of new authors." PublishAmerica is headquartered at the crossroads of I-70 and I-270, just outside the Washington, DC and Baltimore metropolitan area.
