Want to Transfer Contemporary eBook Titles to Another eBook Publisher
Jon Noring
I am planning to significantly reorganize my current ebook publishing
business, OmniMedia Digital Publishing, which was founded in 1993, one of the
oldest ebook publishers still doing business. I will be changing my business
name and focus, and will look for partners or another ebook startup company
to merge with (if you are interested, let me know.)
As a part of this reorganization, I would like to find new and better home(s)
for the five contemporary authors represented in my portfolio of titles, which
span from fiction to consumer to technical. I have already talked with four
of the authors (except for Trumpet James who I am having difficulty in
contacting) and they are all interested in having their works still made
available as ebooks.
Note that I will fully transfer *all* rights of these ebooks back to their
authors, so there will be no encumberances nor any claims by me (and of
course I will withdraw the titles for sale at my site and deregister them
with SoftLock.)
Several months ago, three editors read through my portfolio of titles and
found two of them especially good, and agreed if they were mildly edited
should become popular. One of them, Roger Schlobin's "Fire and Fur: The Last
Sorcerer Dragon" was noted as an especially outstanding and vibrant work of
fantasy that should become a best seller if marketed properly. The other
one, Trumpet James' "Balls (My Story by Mr. Lucky)", was also noted to be
interesting.
Here's the list of titles by the five authors, and some quick comments:
Roger Schlobin: "Fire and Fur: The Last Sorcerer Dragon" (noted above.)
Trumpet James: "Balls (My Story by Mr. Lucky)", "A Book Called Heaven", and
"Ghost Pilot" (noted above. Also note that "Heaven" and "Balls" are linked
in a very interesting way, sort of like the "Red/White/Blue" series of
movies. Btw, over a decade ago, under his real name, Trumpet James wrote a
best-selling "New Age" book that sold, I believe, over 100,000 copies.
Trumpet has several more unpublished works and when inspired he can churn
them out fairly quickly as I witnessed with "Heaven". He has the potential
to write a true best-seller.)
Randy McIlwaine: "Thermal Condoms" (a compendium of hilarious cartoons;
it's more of a multimedia-like title rather than an ebook since there is no
text to speak of.)
James F. Kerrigan: "From Fortran to C" (Mr. Kerrigan will soon get the
electronic rights back to another best-seller of his on Fortran 90.)
Michael Flinn: "How to Save Big Money When You Lease a Car" (a best-seller
in print -- he's thinking of writing a similar title on how to buy a car.
His guide is considered by some to be about the best available to help people
get the best possible deal, especially on how to discern and thwart the
various nefarious sales and psychological tactics used by car dealers. It
makes for fascinating reading.)
To check these out, you can freely download all the above ebooks from my
site:
http://www.exemplary.net/publishing/
Since they are SoftLocked, you can freely download them but will find you can
read only the first few chapters -- the rest are SoftLocked. If you need a
"free crack" to read the remaining chapters, let me know and I will send it
to you.
If after perusing the titles you are interested in contacting one or more
of the authors, let me know and I'll put you in direct touch with them.
Thanks.
