Xulon Ranks Among Outstanding Self-Publishing Companies

Organization receives top marks from acclaimed author Mark Levine

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 -- For the third consecutive year in a row, Xulon Press has once again been named an "Outstanding Self-Publishing Company" in Mark Levine's book, The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. Considered by most to be the "Consumer Reports" of the self-publishing industry, the book explores the contracts, services, and pitfalls of 45 major self-publishing companies.

Of the 45 publishers surveyed, only eight were determined to be "the best in the business." And the author had praise for all eight of these companies, declaring that they "share a proven commitment to author-friendly policies… They all get it. It's about understanding writers, who treat their books like they treat their children. Their books are dreams fulfilled and often represent a lifetime of work. These publishers work with you to achieve the results you want."

In particular, Xulon Press achieved high marks for its "well-organized" website, nonexclusive contract, competitive pricing, and "fantastic" royalties. After examining in detail criteria such as royalty rates, program prices, notable provisions of the publishing agreement, favorable contract terms, and other services of interest, the author had this to say about Xulon Press: "If you're targeting a Christian audience, Xulon does provide a solid package and promotional opportunities. Hands down, Xulon is the best exclusively Christian self-publishing company out there."

Levine also made note of Xulon's knowledgeable and courteous service representatives: "The Xulon operators were extremely responsive to questions without attempting to pressure me into placing a book with their service," he says.

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 5,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Poems to Cuddle With through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
