Thanks for the comments.

We'll see what we can do about the rapid quotes.

Even though ePublishing means every book can be published, it doesn't mean that every book should be published. We're offering everything which a traditional publisher offers, with 2 major differences.

1 - We'll concentrate on eBooks rather than hard copies. In a few years time all publishers will do this, but at the moment we're the first.

2 - We don't choose what we publish. At the moment, traditional publishers choose their titles & hope that readers like a particular book enough to buy it. Buy letting readers choose our titles, we hope that some of the guesswork as to which books will be popular will vanish.

While we have delegated the choice of book to readers, the quality of the work will still rest with us. We'll make sure that every book we publish is as good as it can be, including editorial amendments, art work and promotion.

We're a publisher after all, and even though eBooks take away some of the mystery about publishing, the dark art of selling books will always exist & probably rest with publishers!

Thanks again.
