WorldNetDaily and World Ahead to Partner on WND Books

WorldNetDaily.com joins forces with World Ahead Publishing on ground-breaking WND Books imprint. Partnership brings together pair of leading New Media companies to focus on subjects overlooked by mainstream publishers.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 4, 2006 -- WorldNetDaily, the Web’s leading independent news source, and World Ahead Publishing, the west coast’s leading conservative publisher, announced today they will be partnering on the WND Books imprint effective January 1, 2007.

Founded by Joseph Farah in 1997, WorldNetDaily’s website receives over 8 million visitors each month and is one of the New Media’s most influential news outlets. In 2002, Farah launched the WND Books imprint to publish books on subjects overlooked by mainstream publishers.

In just five years of existence, WND Books has become one of the best known non-fiction imprints in the publishing industry. Its influential books and bestsellers have included “The Savage Nation” and “The Enemy Within” by Michael Savage, “In Mortal Danger” by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), “Guns, Freedom and Terrorism” by Wayne LaPierre, “The Third Terrorist” by Jayna Davis, and “The Marketing of Evil” by David Kupelian.

World Ahead Publishing is based in Los Angeles, CA, and was launched in 2004. The company is headed by Eric M. Jackson, a former marketing executive with the Internet giant PayPal.

After eBay acquired PayPal, Jackson and World Ahead co-founder Norman Book sought to create a media company dedicated to advancing freedom and defending traditional values. World Ahead’s titles include the Barnes & Noble.com #1 bestseller “Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed” by Katharine DeBrecht, the controversial Hillary Clinton quote book “I’ve Always Been a Yankees Fan,” the new release “Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America’s Borders” by Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist and Jerome R. Corsi, and the upcoming “Religion of Peace?: Islam’s War Against the World” by Gregory Davis.

“With its New Media background, World Ahead Publishing is a natural partner for WorldNetDaily,” says Farah, who was a newspaper editor and publisher before starting the Internet news site a decade ago. “Through a combination of excellent titles and creative marketing they have established themselves as an innovative up-and-coming force in the publishing industry. I am excited to be partnering with them on WND Books.”

“WorldNetDaily helped set in motion the revolution of the news business by establishing the new standard for exposés and hard-hitting commentary,” notes Jackson. “It’s no wonder that WND Books is one of the premier imprints in the publishing industry. I’m looking forward to working with Joseph Farah and his team to further this tradition and continue producing excellent titles through WND Books.”

World Ahead Publishing’s WND Books imprint, which was previously published by Cumberland House, will debut in early 2007 and is expected to produce between six and eight titles per year. World Ahead Publishing will also continue to publish titles under its World Ahead and Kids Ahead imprints. The new WND Books imprint will be distributed to the trade by Midpoint Trade Books.
