Alva the Indie is on the prowl. Having suffered through the publication of Jolt: a rural noir, first in hard and soft cover and more recently in ePub and Mobi, she has decided to offer three writers the chance to publish their book as an eBook free. The only hitch is, each will need to be interesting and well-edited. Poetic, highly researched, and truly literary works would be preferred.
But, hey! Who is Alva anyway. Just some tiny little Indie trying to make her way in the overwhelmingly large world of publishing and just hoping someone would like to come and join hands with her. Let me explain.
About ten years ago Roberta M Roy began the trudge to self publishing. First she did the research. One hundred hours in face-to-face courses with the military on responding to mass events. Then she wrote the book. That was easy. Next she worked with an editor and five rewrites and five years after beginning the writing–Jolt: a rural noir was ready–ready that is for publishing.
By that time Roberta had established Alva Press, Inc., and was blogging on three blogs. And so it was I, Alva, who published Roberta’s book. My byword was quality. Was that wrong? I don’t think so. Didn’t Roberta’s book go on to become a 2011 Living Now Awards Medalist in Inspirational Fiction?
But it shouldn’t be that hard. As such, Alva has decided to play the Warren Buffet of self-publishing and reach out to three other writers by publishing one of their works as an eBook to be listed on the alvapressinc.com website for distribution. Thereafter, royalties will be paid on a monthly basis while the potential for listing with big aggregators like B&N and Amazon.com exists.
So if you or someone you know is in the place where they would like to stand up to the big guys and go with Alva, just send me an email expressing your interest. To do this go the the Contact Us page on alvapressinc.com and email me.
In other, while quality is the byword, variety is the spice of life! So all genres and mixed genres of writing are welcome.
More anon.
Alva the Indie
