Unlimited Publishing LLC ("UP") and Bridge Arts Media ("BAM") have formed a joint imprint to co-publish an exciting new series of works by screenwriters, coming soon to a theatre -- er, bookseller -- near you!

The series will include veteran screenwriter Daniel Pyne (Manchurian Candidate, Any Given Sunday, Doc Hollywood), with more releases to follow, from both seasoned Hollywood writers and promising new faces.

Participants will also include Harvardwood, a unique organization of more than 2,500 Harvard-affiliated people in the worlds of entertainment, media and arts.

In the competitive realm of Hollywood, only a tiny fraction of scripts are ever produced. The new series will give screenwriters an innovative opportunity to cultivate an audience for their work in print, paving the way to appear on TV or film. It allows writers to get exposure -- and revenues -- from work that would otherwise remain "dormant" until produced.

In other cases, screenplays for films already produced can be expanded with the screenwriter's commentary, or released as novelizations in book form.

In the book world, a growing number of writers today use technologies like "Print on Demand" to publish their own books, rather than fight an uphill battle getting published by traditional book publishing houses. However, authors who self-publish are often charged substantial fees by service providers, or spend many hours juggling complex computer operations to prepare books for publication on their own.

The new series from UP and BAM combines the best of both worlds, allowing writers to get published without paying fees of any kind, while avoiding daunting technical hassles frequently faced by writers who attempt the "Do It Yourself" approach to book publishing. At the same time, their books are released with the backing of a cutting edge Hollywood media group and an established trade publisher.

Each new book starts in limited advance release, as a paperback available to order exclusively from the Web sites of UP, BAM and one of more of their printer. Those that demonstrate meaningful public demand become eligible for broader distribution through additional printers and wholesalers that supply mainstream booksellers. The most popular can even become eligible for in-store stocking by major chain bookstores.

This innovative approach gives new scripts and their writers a better chance to prove their public appeal in real life, without falling prey to vanity presses... or needing a degree in computer science! Realistic and market-driven, it gives writers the dignity of getting their work in print with a "real" book publisher, and rewards those who most actively promote and market their books.
