New Publisher Announcement: Permanent Press and Planet Press partner with ReadHowYouWant

The Permanent Press has loaded 23 titles to the ReadHowYouWant production pipeline, with an additional batch of 20+ to follow by March.

Our second new publisher is Planet Press; they have loaded three timely financial titles to RHYW in the month of February.

A connection to both of these publishers was made at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Begun in 1978 by Martin and Judith Shepard, The Permanent Press committed itself to publishing works of social and literary merit and has, over the years, gained a reputation as one of the finest independent presses in America.

Since our inception, individual authors and titles have gained over 50 literary honors, including the American Book Award, Small Press Book Awards, New American Writing Awards, and the Colorado Book Award. They have also been National Book Award, Edgar Award, and Hammett Prize finalists. We've published Halldor Laxness, a 1955 Nobel Prize winner, and have 12 novels in print from Berry Fleming, who, in 1990, was a Nobel Prize nominee.

From current Permanent Press newsletter:

Efrem Sigel's novel, The Disappearance (scheduled for release this month, about the catastrophic effect on a marriage when a couple's 14 year old son goes missing) has already skyrocketed through sales at Amazon.com, though books will only arrive from our printer on February 3, Over this first weekend in February, its been listed among the top 700 to 800 books being sold; a rare occurence. The advance reviews have been spectacular, including one in the February 9 issue of People. Similar extraordinary reviews have come in for our March release, The History of Now, written by Daniel Klein, whose non-fitction Plato and a Platypus Walked Into a Bar was on Best Seller lists for much of 2007 and 2008. The same holds true for Ivan Goldman's The Barfighter, due in April. Rather than repeat things, I invite you to click on our website and see all of these rave reviews.

PLANET PRESS

Christine Thompson-Wells has been writing about money and how to use it for the last ten years.

Christine's books include writing for adults and children about managing money. The adult books are: '39 Steps & 39 Days to Debt Recovery,' and 'Making Cash Flow,'
'What's in it for me - Money Psychology' is due out in 2009 and more to come.

For the children, there is the Will Jones' series, these include: ' Will Jones' Space Adventures & The Money Formula,' 'Will Jones' Space Adventures & The Zadrilian Queen' and due out in 2009, 'Will Jones' Space Adventures & The Children of the Black Sun,' there are six books in the Will Jones' series.

Christine maintains, 'there is an urgency about money education, the world is rapidly changing and we are heading into a cashless society, the notes and coins that we use today will not be available to our children in possibly twenty years - they will be faced with working through a paper statement and plastic cards to buy their goods and services. This cashless society will put some people at a major disadvantage.'

Both publishers have plans under way for a series of simultaneous releases.

May the London Book Fair be as fruitful as Frankfurt for ReadHowYouWant.
