Blue Feather Books

Website: www.bluefeatherbooks.com

Email: emilyreed@bluefeatherbooks.com

 

Blue Feather Books is a 100% woman-owned publishing house that focuses on books written by women, for women. That doesn't mean that we won't publish high quality books that are of general interest (children's books, for example), just that most of our titles are woman-centered. We've got stories of lesbian romance and adventure; non-fiction speculative "herstory" books; quirky, off-beat books and everything in between.


 

Girlports is a website for lesbians and bisexual women, published in English by Girlports Services Inc. Its purpose is to entertain and inform its users about travel and events of importance to lesbian and bisexual women, to provide a place for lesbian and bi women to share their travel experiences and to encourage these women to support lesbian communities around the world.

L-Book ePublisher is an electronic publisher of Lesbian Fiction. We specialize in both electronic books and audio electronic books, which we call Listening Books. L-Book ePublisher's goal is to provide quality Lesbian Fiction to read or listen to on the go or in the comfort of your home. We offer our books in many different formats. They can be read or listened to with a variety of devices, from iPods, iPhones, and cell phones to PDA's and laptops. They can even be listened to on home or car entertainment systems. L-Books are available through online bookstores including Amazon.com Kindle, Mobipocket.com, Libri.de, eBook.nl and more. We continue to expand our marketing resources by adding more bookstores each month.

Our readers and listeners are invited to test drive our books. We offer free long excerpts (35 to 60 minutes in length, the first three to five chapters) and free short stories from our authors. This gives you a chance to try out the technology and the authors before buying anything. L-Book can be accessed worldwide, with immediate downloads. Readers can get their book within seconds. No shipping costs, no taxes and no duties make the books very affordable. With PayPal, paying is easy from any were in the world.

For authors, whether they live in the US or not, submitting manuscripts and receiving payments electronically is as easy, too. L-Book ePublisher does not have strict length requirements. That's great for readers who love long novels and for writers who wouldn't be able to find a print publisher for their long novel or would be forced to cut scenes. We are always looking for quality commuter-length novels (90,000 words to 200,000+ word novels) as well as short stories, anthologies, and normal size novels, in all categories. Please visit L-Book ePublisher at http://L-Book.com  and browse around our site. Don't forget about the free downloads of short stories and excerpts. Authors, don't miss our submission page for information on submitting your manuscripts.

Excellence, integrity, and quality are three words that represent the foundation upon which Regal Crest was built. Since 1999, we've been dedicated to producing books that inspire and entertain.

All of the talented individuals who form the Regal Crest team are committed to excellence. Our editors work with authors to improve manuscripts until they shine, and our cover artists are some of the best in the business, producing professional art and beautiful graphics that sell books. If you talk to Regal Crest authors, some of whom first signed contracts back in 1999 and are still with us, you'll understand why they continue to publish with Regal Crest.
