AUTHORSDEN.COM LEADS POWERFUL MOVEMENT TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN AUTHORS AND READERS.

Santa Clara, CA- The newly spawned eBook industry, which sits at the precipice of acceptance, is poised to earn an estimated $34 million this year and $400 million by 2004, according to Forrester Research. David Steinberger, President of Corporate Strategy at Harper Collins thinks that number is a low-ball figure. Internal projections by Harper Collins Publishers expect ebooks to account for $2 billion in annual sales by 2005. 500,000 authors submit work to be published every year and only 50,000 actually get published. In the very near future, authors that have been rejected over and over again by publishers will gain recognition and even fame, with the ability to showcase their talents to the public via AuthorsDen.com.

Matthew Miller, President -- An Industry is only as strong as its weakest link and in the Publishing industry, the weak link happens to be the most important - Continuous promotions of its authors. The development of securing digital works and other media for copyright protected distribution is a revolutionary "win-win" for both authors and readers. Publishing/ePublishing sites provide little author marketing, making choices difficult for readers in selecting material and discovering author's works. There is little, if any, customer service available to authors in assisting with choices and simply navigating the ePublishing market. Authors with strong online marketing have the opportunity to create a public following, as proven by Stephen King and John Grisham. Thus... AuthorsDen.com"
