Five New Titles Earn iUniverse Publisher’s Choice Designation
New York, NY, March 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Five outstanding titles earned the coveted iUniverse Publisher’s Choice designation during the month of February 2007. Publisher’s Choice titles are displayed in the author’s local Barnes & Noble bookstore for a minimum of eight weeks.
To become eligible for Publisher’s Choice, authors must first publish their books through the iUniverse Premier Pro Publishing Package. From there, titles that receive the Editor's Choice designation for editorial quality and meet key cover design standards receive the prestigious Publisher’s Choice designation.
Publisher’s Choice gives authors the chance to discover if they have what it takes to succeed in the publishing marketplace by providing the support needed to develop a customized, professional marketing plan. This support includes marketing tips and ideas, a sample marketing plan, a title information sheet template, and the opportunity to communicate one-on-one with an iUniverse marketing associate. After authors develop their marketing plans and title information sheets, iUniverse submits these documents to a national buyer at Barnes & Noble. This buyer determines where the books will be stocked and the number of books Barnes & Noble will purchase for the eight-week stocking period.
iUniverse titles earning Publisher’s Choice during February include:
§ But He Never Hit Me by Dr. Jill Murray
§ Alice and the Green Man by Constance Sprague
§ The Hair Loss Cure by David Kingsley
§ My Hawaiian Penthouse by Mark Thompson
§ Yes, We Love This Land by Dan Reed
“iUniverse is the only supported self-publishing company that makes real investments in its most promising titles,” Susan Driscoll, iUniverse president and CEO, said. “The Publisher’s Choice designation is just one example of our dedication to identifying, supporting, and celebrating books that have the potential for greater commercial success.”
