Introducing Gather Community Press--Be a Published Author

You're creative. You have a story to tell. And now you can self-publish your work with Gather Community Press!

During past Gather writing competitions like First Chapters, First Chapters Romance writing, and truTV's search for the "Next Great Crime Writer," we were incredibly impressed by the number of participants and the quality of the manuscripts that were submitted. We wanted to find a way to help out the many aspiring authors who participate on Gather. After researching various self-publishing houses, we felt that Author House, one of the leading self-publishing companies, had a strong breadth of services and could help us create a unique program for our members.

Understanding that self-publishing puts promotion largely in the hands of the author, we developed a program to help the author get exposure on Gather by helping them set up a branded group to promote their work and by getting them additional copies of their book so that other members could publish book reviews. We're also offering free ads on Gather to help authors promote their books. We are excited about having this opportunity available to members who are interested in taking this publishing route.

Through Gather and AuthorHouse, now you can break into the publishing world and see your work in print. Share your book with friends and family on Gather and off. YOU remain in total control of the publishing process - and you can take advantage of a variety of benefits to make it a hit. Whether you're a novelist, poet, photographer, or beyond, you can turn your art into a gorgeous collection that we will help you market!

Once your book is printed, Gather's own Creative Team will design a branded header and icon you can use to create a Gather group to promote sales. And the day your book launches, your group will be featured on the Gather homepage. Plus, from now through March 15, 2008, self-publishing Gather members get 50,000 ad impressions - FREE.

Join the long list of talented writers and other artists in the Gather community. Be published by Gather Community Press through AuthorHouse. And mark this chapter of your life with a book with your name on it.
