Well, this has got to be our biggest adventure into the business world yet. Our own publishing firm, or house as we like to put it. But we're learning to keep it simple. It's about all we can handle. We had so many friends and family who wanted us to design and publish their cook books we decided to try and make a living out of it using internet tools like CreateSpace.
A few friends had completed novels, a collection of short stories, poetry but no idea how to get it published or even break into the traditional publishing world. Self-publishing can cost you a nice little bundle of cash or when publishing on Lulu or even CreateSpace time was the price to pay (and a knowledge in layout was helpful). So yeah, it is convenient to let friends do it for other friends. And we loved doing. But time is precious, more so these days with proms and graduations and whatnot.
In any case, we've paid Go Daddy for our own domain and soon http://www.G8Press.com will be up and running (don't bothering visiting just yet, it's a big blank screen of nothing). We've got a really small staff and a smaller budget. Ah, that's the way it goes. Perhaps adgitize will help us. But our staff does include published authors, two editors, a webmaster and an illustrator. Not too shabby.
We'll remain simple using every freebie on the internet. And keeping it all between friends and family for the moment. This should be interesting.
