Unlimited Publishing's reputation as the POD book publisher of choice for professional writers continues to grow. Unlike some POD publishers that flood the market with thousands of marginal books, UP is selective and focused on quality over quantity.

As a result, UP books enjoy more coverage from major news media, favorable reviews in leading professional and literary journals, revenues from subsidiary rights (excerpts, reprints, translations, etc.) and greater respectability than typical POD book publishing fare.

Every other month, UP reports success stories like those you will read below. It's NOT a coincidence that better books by better writers achieve a wider following, as documented by recent examples:

  • Genge Press Launches Series with UP

    April 2012 - May 2012 and following: UP is pleased to co-publish U.S. editions of scholarly books with Genge Press of Minehead, Somerset, England.

A Penguin edition followed, along with contributions to dictionaries and other wordbooks.

    This series is the latest in a growing number of collaborations between UP and smaller publishers worldwide, as well as books published in cooperation with educational and charitable institutions such as the CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition; the Alzheimers Association, Delaware Valley Chapter; Harvardwood Publishing; and the national Carcinoid Cancer Foundation.

    Overview

    The items above clearly demonstrate UP's success in developing a hybrid of new technologies and proven publishing practices. We combine new manufacturing and distribution methods while remaining selective about the content and appearance of our books, like a more traditional publisher.

    UP also has dual production and distribution channels, using BOTH of the world's leading suppliers, and a liberal return policy for retailers-- almost unknown among other POD imprints. These factors give UP books significant advantages in the marketplace, compared to competitors. Our goal is achieve the best of both worlds: the speed and economy of POD, combined with the kind of quality and public exposure of books more typical of larger, mainstream publishers.

    As a result, UP books are gaining more and more exposure from mainstream news media, major publishing industry channels, and of course, from the public. Yet UP is still a young company, founded in 2000. Please stay tuned; the best news is yet to come!
