Try XLibris or IUniverse.  I believe both of them have a section that
concentrates on history productions.  They are both e-book companies that
offer royalties after the payment of a fee--for awhile I had a list of the
six most reliable ones.  I can't find it, but I know XLibris was on it.  I'm
not sure about IUniverse.  Both also offer websites where your new e-book
can be publicized and a higher fee places the book on Amazon.com and other
like sites.--Wanda Burch

Subject: Small scale publishing on the Web


A few months ago I saw a feature about electronic publishing for small scale
or special interest books, where the .com company would offer your work over
the web to download for a fee, and the author would get a royalty. This was
presented as the perfect solution for works of limited audience or very
regional markets.

I did not take down the URL of the .com company at the time, but since then,
more and more local history writers have asked me about options for their
works, and I keep thinking about this new medium as one option they might
explore.

A quick search of the Internet listings did not turn up this company. What I
keep getting are webpages for electronic books - the kind you read on your
PC or hand-held digital "book". Nothing on the web publishing angle.

Does anyone know of it?
