AISLING
EYE BOOKS is a new independent
publishing company of quality original fiction and non-fiction,
covering an eclectic mix subjects, genres, and styles. From
novels for the young and old, to personal memoirs and offbeat
literary works outside the norm of traditional markets,
our goal is to showcase unique voices and diverse, emerging
talent.
Haven't
heard of us yet? We won't hold it
against you. We may be modest in means but not in ambition.
We care more about creativity than the cutthroat publishing
market, and work closely with our authors in bringing their
efforts to print. This gives us the luxury of choosing those
titles we're geniunely passionate about; they don't
have to be best sellers.
For
every behemoth J.K. Rowling or Stephen King success story,
every book featured on Oprah, or every Bridges
of Madison County or Da Vinci Code, thousands
upon thousands of books fall through the commercial cracks.
Think about it -- the cost of editing, printing, galley
copies for reviews, shipping and distribution...not
to mention a little thing called marketing.
Our
thinking is geared towards offbeat, counterculture, unusual
or unique stories that would presumably have a difficult
time fitting into the mass market... Stuff that starts out
small, but grows through positive word-of-mouth...
And
no, we're not based out of Ireland. We just like using the
green/Celtic stuff because it's pretty.
Our
business model is not predicated on printing, shipping and
warehousing thousands of books, but working with limited
print run and POD (print on demand) services that save us
the trouble of distribution. We do everything we can with
limited time and resources, working in close creative collaboration
with our authors to make every single penny count. While
it may take some time before our titles reach your local
bookstore, you can easily order them by request, or through
online stores such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Borders,
and leading bookseller chains.
So
go on, take a chance and give us a look. We think you'll
be glad you did.
