Outskirts Press Authors in the News...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In the wake of new stories
about traditionally published authors earning “six figure
advances” Outskirts Press author Gang Chen earns six figures
in six months and keeps all his rights, which means he can earn
another six figures in another six months, long after a traditional
advance would be gone.
Outskirts Press Author
Earns Over $100,000
in Just Six Months
Denver, CO and Irvine, CA
– Outskirts Press, the fastest-growing full-service self-publishing
and book marketing company, today announced that one of its
authors has earned over $100,000 in author royalties in six
short months.
 Gang
Chen, the self published author of Planting Design Illustrated
and LEED AP Exam Guide, will receive a first-quarter
royalty check in the amount of $77,611.88 for books sold between
January-March 2009. This follows a previous royalty check of
$33,679.56 that Chen recently received from Outskirts Press
for books sold between October-December 2008.
"Earning $111,000
in six months is an amazing accomplishment for any author, self-published
or otherwise," Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson commented.
"Of course, publishing with Outskirts Press certainly helps.
We extend heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Chen, and also want
to thank him for graciously granting us permission to publicize
his success."
Gang Chen, an expert in the field of architecture,
with a master’s degree from USC and over 20 years of professional
experience, was among the top-five performing Outskirts Press
authors in the 4th quarter of 2008 and then went on to double
his royalties for the first quarter of 2009. When notified of
his earnings, Chen responded, "I’m in the process
of publishing my next book in the LEED Exam Guide series through
Outskirts Press, along with a book on architecture, so I hope
to break this record soon."
 After
contacting hundreds of traditional publishers for his first
book Planting Design Illustrated, Chen finally landed a deal
with one major publisher, only to discover that he was dissatisfied
with the substantial revisions they were suggesting. He promptly
cancelled the traditional publishing contract and decided to
publish the book himself. He compared various publishing options
and chose Outskirts Press. "Their services do not end after
the book is published," Chen stated. "They continue
to provide excellent marketing advice, as well."
Outskirts Press understands that marketing
is a huge part of an author’s success and, unlike most
self-publishing firms, offer promotional advice and marketing
services extending for years after publication. States CEO Brent
Sampson, “Successful authors have the potential to separate
themselves from the pack by publishing with a full-service,
custom publishing company that provides support before, during,
and after publication.” For a partial view of the marketing
