eBook eXplosion - the new publishing

.
We've been around since the 90's, so we've seen a lot of changes and a lot of trends rise and fall. When we first started, the World Wide Web was much smaller - dare I say intimate. Back then web pages were text files, with very little graphics, and games (text based) were played over telnet. Social networks were Internet Relay Chat, bulletin boards, and newsgroups. It was a simpler time.

Today everyone is plugged in, connected with multiple social networks via their computers, eReaders, and cell phones. There is talk of digital overload, digital saturation, social addiction. The internet has become a crucial and defining aspect of our daily lives. A generation has grown and matured with Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon at their fingertips.

The underground press began, back in the day, building web pages in simple HTML code and dreaming of new ways to connect and communicate via the web. We continue. The rise in eBooks have freed authors from the chains of traditional publishing and given them a direct connection with their readers. Indie authors publish directly to their readers on Smashwords, Kindle, Nook, and a host of outlets.

Underground Press Publishing is here to help in that revolution. We provide advice, consulting, and solutions for writers and artists who wish to connect directly with their fans. Underground Press Publishing has actively coded websites for over ten years, and now provides social network management, eBook coding, website enhancement, custom apps, and whatever that next trend happens to be.

If you are an author, aspiring writer, or artist, contact us and find out how we can help. We are a full service Indie publisher offering eBook design and coding, print book design, freelance editing, web design and site building, network image optimization, social and market management, SEO site content, anything an author or artist might need. We are not a traditional "query us and we might respond" publisher, we are a "tell us what we can do for you" publisher.

You may ask, "why not use one of the many ePublishing services available?" You can, and some of them are good at what they do, others, not so much, but most are staffed by old-school business pros who see writers and artists as a way to make THEM money. I'm a writer, a coder, an Indie author myself. I envision your publishing experience as YOUR way to connect with YOUR audience. Hopefully we will both make a little money along the way.

Contact us and let me know what Underground Press Publishing can do for you.
