Innovative partnership offers authors "best self-publishing service available"

(Aug. 11, 2008 – BLOOMINGTON, Ind.) – WritingRoom.com, an online writing community welcoming all types of writers, is now offering members and aspiring authors the opportunity to publish with the launch of their DIY publishing solution, PublishingRoom.com.

"So many authors struggle with trying to get published," said Lindsay Preston, founder of WritingRoom.com. "Now with PublishingRoom.com, these writers can not only see their works in print, but also gain the unique opportunity to market their books to a built in audience at WritingRoom.com."

Born from the creative partnership between WritingRoom.com and Author Solutions (ASI), PublishingRoom.com is the natural evolution of the fast growing DIY publishing experience. Authors who choose to publish with the help of PublishingRoom's free online publishing wizard, can easily upload their manuscripts, design a personalized cover, select pricing and royalties, and publish their book in less than an hour.

With the help of PublishingRoom's extensive Services Store, budding authors can also pick and choose only the options that will best suit their publishing needs, including channel book distribution and marketing support. Unlike traditional publishers, PublishingRoom.com grants their authors the unique advantage of remaining in control of their work.

"By partnering with ASI, PublishingRoom.com will bring its authors and WritingRoom.com members the best self-publishing service available," Preston said. "(ASI) is the best in the business. Their technology, customer support, and expertise in the area cannot be matched."
