… continued from yesterday…
JR: What is your favorite book and why?
Brent: The Catcher in the Rye. I find portions of it hilarious. That’s probably a little odd to admit, but there you have it.
JR: What is your ultimate goal for Outskirts Press? How do you intend to get there?
Brent: Ultimately, Outskirts Press will be a destination for writers who are seeking assistance with more than just publishing. We already offer ghostwriting, copyediting, and other a la carte services for authors who may not even know how they’re going to publish their book. And we are starting to add more and more book marketing services for authors who may have published elsewhere before realizing, by gosh, their publisher doesn’t offer any marketing support after publication. These additional services to all authors are already starting to become available and we will continue to offer more.
JR: If I have dinner with any author, dead or alive, it would be…
Brent: …Bret Easton Ellis
JR: My biggest pet peeve about writers is…
Brent: …Is the same as my biggest joy about them: their artistic, passionate spirit.
JR: Other then running a publishing company and writing, I really enjoy…
Brent: …Spending time with my wife and son.
JR: One thing people would be surprised to know about me is…
Brent: …I’m an artist and used to sell a lot of artwork over the internet, complete with original poems on the back of original works.
JR: I wish I had more time to…
Brent: …Spend time with my wife and son.
JR: Any final words or comments?
Brent: As the publishing industry is continuing to evolve, more writers are exploring ebook publishing first, through the Kindle, Nook, and iPad. Outskirts Press offers services to conveniently facilitate those publishing goals, regardless of where (or if) you published hard copy versions. And unlike most other platforms, we don’t take any of the royalties for ebook sales.
