Widely-published activist attorney Steve Bachmann, author of five UP books, will appear on a panel at Harvard Law School on March 16. His book Lawyers, Law and Social Change has recently been updated and expanded by UP to coincide with the event.
UP continues to attract more and more established writers, experts and public speakers who want to harness the latest book publishing technologies in print and online.
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.
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!
