iUniverse and American Author Partner to Launch New Web Site Service
New York, NY, May 04, 2007 --(PR.com)-- iUniverse, the leading provider of supported self-publishing services, has announced the addition of an Author Web Site service to its already impressive line-up of publishing, editorial and marketing services.
The iUniverse Author Web Site service enables even the least computer-savvy individuals to set up their own Web site with attractive templates, numerous graphics, a wide variety of background colors and helpful e-mail and telephone support. iUniverse developed the service in cooperation with American Author, a division of Cevado Technologies that provides professional, affordable and easy-to-use Web sites to the world of writers and authors. To date, no other publishing services provider has developed a similar relationship with a Web site development and hosting organization.
Authors can purchase the optional iUniverse Author Web Site service when they publish their books, or they can choose to purchase the service at a later time. iUniverse pre-populates the Web site with book and author information, and American Author provides the online interface, tools, training and technical support so that authors can continually enhance and update their site.
According to iUniverse President and CEO Susan Driscoll, offering a Web site service is yet another way that the company provides superior products and services to authors. “The Internet is the best way for readers to discover new authors and interesting books, and I’ve always believed that every self-published author should have a Web site. The American Author Web tools are easy to use, and the training they provide authors is second to none. I’m delighted that we’re able to offer such value to authors who publish through iUniverse.”
“A professional Web site has become an absolutely essential tool for every successful author,” Lars Clausen of American Author said. “We’re very pleased and excited to work with iUniverse to provide this important marketing service to their ever-growing community of authors.”
“At iUniverse, we focus on finding and offering services that truly benefit authors,” Driscoll added. "The addition of our Author Web Site service is another example of how we are constantly striving to provide authors a professional product at a very affordable price.”
