Difference Press Launches Ten Books On Amazon’s Kindle Platform, Announces “13 Weeks To Published” Program
WASHINGTON, D.C. (PRWEB) December 04, 2013 -- The Difference Press, a small press offering a “boutique alternative to self-publishing,” is announcing today the successful completion of their pilot “13 Weeks to Published” program. Ten books by as many authors will appear today in Amazon.com’s Kindle Store, available for immediate download. The ten books are on subjects as diverse as weight loss, neuroscience as it applies to the Law of Attraction, cypherpunks and the failing US war on drugs, and GMO foods and their relation to autoimmune disease.
All ten books were completed, start to finish, in the thirteen week cycle of the 13 Weeks to Published program. Program lead and Difference Press founder, Dr. Angela Lauria, made the pilot program available to a small number of participants in September, 2013, and worked individually with the authors and her team of small press professionals to shepherd the books through every phase of the writing and design process, including submission to Amazon.com’s Kindle Singles platform, a technical process that can be difficult to navigate for the uninitiated.
“When I came up with the idea for the Kindle Singles pilot, it was really a challenge to myself to see how many authors I could get to crank out a book,” Lauria said, when reached for comment. “I guessed half of the participants would be able to keep up the pace we set for them and make it to the end of the thirteen weeks with a finished book, but I was wrong. All ten participants in the pilot program who started their book finished it.”
