WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwire - February 8, 2011) - Infinity Publishing, a pioneer in self-publishing, today announced the introduction of OneBook (http://blog.infinitypublishing.com/onebook-program/), a unique All-in-One offering for independent authors that allows them to publish their book in print, eBook and audio book formats.
The new offering represents a significant value for authors looking for an efficient way to market their work in multiple formats to the world. OneBook combines high-quality production with comprehensive global distribution and is priced 20% below the cost to publish in each format separately. In addition, working with a single publishing company for all versions allows authors to maintain greater control over the publication of their work and to be confident that it will be presented consistently across all three formats in multiple channels of distribution.
"This unique 'all-in-one' offering from Infinity gives authors an affordable way to market their creative work in multiple formats worldwide while working with the same publishing team," said Dan Poynter, a well-regarded author and a nationally recognized expert on book publishing. "OneBook is a great way for independent authors to join the self-publishing revolution in all three major formats at one time."
OneBook is the first "three-format" offering to be made available in the self-publishing industry. There are two packages from which to choose.
OneBook Essential is priced at $995 and includes the creation of a print book, an eBook and a 1-Hour Audio book -- an exclusive Infinity product for audio abridgments that are no more than 72 minutes in length. If purchased separately, the retail value of publishing one title in all three formats is $1,297, so OneBook Essential represents nearly a 20% discount when purchased together.
OneBook Infinite is priced at $1,675 and includes the creation of books in all three formats, plus the following additional support from Infinity: extended global distribution to more than 50,000 book retailers through distribution partnerships with Baker & Taylor and Ingram; editorial consultation with an experienced book editor; marketing consultation with a marketing expert; and the development of a professionally written press release to announce the availability of the book. The retail value of the package is $2,191, creating a 24% discount when purchased together with the OneBook offering.
"The book publishing industry continues to experience rapid change, but one consistent fact is that there are still distinct retail audiences for book buyers who prefer print books, eBooks or audio books," said Arthur Gutch, chief executive officer of West Conshohocken, Penn.-based Infinity Publishing. "OneBook allows independent authors to affordably expand their reach into all three of these channels in order to increase their exposure to new readers and generate additional sales with their titles."
