We are an activist group created to help authors, small press publishers, independent bookstores and other industry related groups start a revolution that will break the ties that bind us - create respect for the evolution that needs repair....it's time...
 
"Every generation needs a new revolution." Thomas Jefferson.
 
Now is our time, now is the season for change . . .
 
Self-Published & Small Press Published Authors are the future. They deserve the same respect as the mainstream published authors and we will strive to make that happen. It's our goals as a group to offer assistance and guidance to the self-published author. As well as, improve the quality of work being produced by self-published and small presses through education and editing processes.
 
Some Small Press Publishers use Print on Demand technology, some print short runs of their titles. They generally print anywhere from 500 to 2K copies. Small Presses who use Print on Demand or print short runs of their titles are being resourceful with their small budgets.
 
In order to meet the public's demand. POD is today's modern technology that already has created an influx of published books and with the proper processes being adhered to will be the future of the industry.
 
Small Press  authors could easily be mainstream, top sellers if they were not shunned by an industry that doesn't want to accept that indeed some of these SPP's and SPA's do utilize the proper pathways to put out a book. I.e., editing, review processes etc.
 
We strive to open the eyes of the fans, the stores, and the events to see the potential best sellers they are overlooking.
 
Independent bookstores are closing by the handfuls day after day as the public turns toward the major chain stores for their books. Independents strive to help the small press publishers and the self-published authors, there are treasures on their shelves you won't find in the major chains, yet no one sees their need for existence. We promote the independents and impress upon the importance of the need for the public to help keep these small stores thriving....we impress upon our authors to hold their signings at these stores, and upon our fans to shop these stores because they change with the times, they give back to the next generation of writers by giving them a chance.
 
We are a group that consists of and is aided by established authors, new authors, aspiring authors, editors, small press publishers, and other industry related venues who will help change the stigma created by the beginnings of a change - we strive to reverse the damage as seen in the eyes of many and can only do so with your help.
 
We are looking for members who will work as mentors, qualifying editors who will offer their services at prices accessible to the smaller wallets, established publicist who will work for the author in gaining their recognition.
 
We are looking for non-bias reviewers who are willing to read and offer valid reviews of books published by small authors - we do ask that you are an established reviewer for another venue of recognition.
 
We are looking for fans who want a say in what they read, have the desire to have the opportunity to meet the over 70K Small Press Books that you never see on shelves because an industry is not quite up to par on the changing times.
 
We are looking for Small Press Members who want to grow into midstream or even large press publishers because they can if given the tools to succeed.
