Suzanne,
I have passed along the booksmany.com info (url and blurb) to our web based content
department to add to bookwire. I have requested a high priority level on this.

Your site looks wonderful by the way - much success

Cheers,
Andrea Canfield
Project Manager, Bookwire (USA)

Dear Ms. Porter. You have done something that will bring joy to many authors, and I
hope a lot of people. I have 3 possible books - 1 major book SF/meaning of life,
finished and infinitely polished, re-read and edited as is the way with first books, 1 short
novella length non-fiction love story, filled with poetry which has particular attraction to
women and which I think would make a terrific Mother's Day present, and a smaller
book again which is a collection of the poems from both books. Common sense tells me
that the love story is a sensible starting place - its true, its modern, I am fiercely proud of
the poetry which all have told me is v.good, and I am told its quite lovely.
Thank you and well done, O B.

Media Release
Publicity & Promotion for this revolutionary & innovative way of book
Distribution & Author Self-Publishing on the www

Welcome to
booksmany.com
~Your online virtual ebook-STORE~


For a writer, the most important thing is getting published - unlike paper & ink
books with booksmany.com the online virtual ebook-STORE, writers can not
only get published but have an instant global reach!

Authors
Retain all RIGHTS to their work. Are always free to publish with others. Have complete
control of editing and creating their work. Its every authors dream to have their book
published. Since time immemorial, people have wanted to self-publish their own books,
but this has been a very expensive exercise. Many with rejected manuscripts were
disappointed their work was not available to the buying public. Yet those determined
enough, self-published and became household names. Now authors have, an
opportunity to self-publish their work as an ebook on the www - with sales
commissions at 35 percent of retail price (plus GST*), rather than the 10 percent
royalties offered by conventional publishers of printed books.

Readers
As long as man has been a reader, he has bought books. Today's books are virtually
downloadable now, at a fraction of the cost of conventionally printed books. With no
costly set-ups, returns, damaged books, paper usage, trees felled or remainders,
self-publishing on the world wide web as a virtual ebook made up of a compilation of
bits and bytes is definitely the most environmentally friendly way to go through the new
millennium.

About us
We are a 100 percent, wholly owned, independent Australian Company who, after
much frustration and difficulty trying to publish and distribute our own books by
traditional methods. Decided to set up our own virtual web site for ebooks, at the same
time, for a modest fee, offering other self-publishing authors an opportunity to display
their titles for those readers around the world, who wished to obtain copies by
downloading the book onto their own computer via the www. Booksmany.com is the
brainchild of Best-selling Author Mrs S E M Porter (Its Only Natural).
