Up until Version 4 of our new and improved website, we really left the “selling” of books to retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, etc. After all, they’ve invested huge amounts of money and time into making the … Continue reading Outskirts Press bookstore Version 4

When I write this blog, I make every effort to avoid falling back on a topic involving my “day to day grind” because, frankly, the day-to-day grind isn’t all that interesting.

But when I’m involved in large, time-consuming and complex projects every minute of every … Continue reading Version 4 of OutskirtsPress.com self publishing

JR: What is your ultimate goal for Outskirts Press? How do you intend to get there? Brent: Ultimately, Outskirts … Continue reading Brent Sampson interview – part 4
A few weeks ago I started discussing our process of enrolling Outskirts Press into the Apple Developer Certification program so we could start offering “apps” to our authors (and so we could provide our own Outskirts Press apps for marketing purposes). The posts detailed the first few steps involved in enrolling in the program, and … Continue reading Apple developer program – continued – part 4
With a 99% author satisfaction rate, Outskirts Press statistically faces 1 or 2 complaints a month from our published authors since we publish roughly 150 different authors a month. This number of complaints is statistically low in an industry with such artistic fervor.
