Stone, wood, wax, papyrus, paper,
eBook: the substrate so far has changed, but the written word
has persisted. Until now. Because the next book, if it can be
called so, will be written word but also image, animation,
video, audio, network connection and interaction with the
reader.
There is nothing to
be scare of. On the contrary, we should welcome changes that
books, reading and publishing industry are experiencing due to
technological progress.
Alexandria Library embraces the
challenge of modernity. We are a publishing house committed to
innovation and growth, while adapting immediately changes that
result in higher book quality, faster edition and publication
process, variety of formats and ways of distribution, all in
process and procedures that meet writers' needs and budget.
Therein lies our strength.
Manuscripts are turned into a
high-quality printed books, eBooks and audiobooks, available for
online sale and retailers' catalogs worldwide. The author has
just one out of pocket publication fee and set up cost and
receives 100% of the royalties for the rest of his or her life
(and later his heirs).
If a manuscript needs to be
evaluated and copy edited, we offer this service as well as
translation and ghostwriting (book writing by a professional
anonymous copywriter).
We work directly with the author,
who remains in control of the work to achieve a product
according to his or her expectations.
We also offer editorial services
to other publishing houses that could continue the literary work
while we do the technical work, but also can convert the
original files to electronic and audio formats and even, from a
single copy, to get the digital files ready to be put on the
print on demand process.
We are innovating the business
model for authors to publish their books, getting a higher
quality level. We have approached the best of traditional
publishing and author (or self) publishing, anticipating to the
convergence of this two models, so far opposed. |
