Idaho Falls, ID, USA; September 20 ‐ I am very proud and excited to introduce you to LikePhate Publishing.

Anybody who has been following me knows that I think Publishing companies are overrated and unnecessary today, so this announcement may come as both shocking and bewildering.

What I am attempting to do with LikePhate is create a new kind of publisher that doesn't control the process of bringing books to the masses, but simply provides the support authors need to make that process easier. LikePhate will provide support for International Distribution (currently: Amazon, B&N and Phibble Books), formatting, and other services related to the publishing process.

One of our focuses will be on helping a new type of author - the small business/entrepreneur. Publishing a book not only can add a revenue stream to your business, but it can also make you an instant expert to potential customers.

Our relationship with Phibble Books allows our authors to reach an International audience that goes well beyond the handful of countries offered by Amazon. Not only can our authors sell to readers in almost every country, they also have the ability to offer ARC's and discounted copies, easily and for a wide range of platforms. For more information on this arrangement, please read our announcement.

So far, we have three authors on our roster; Kate Bowyer, Pibs Tandy and myself.

LikePhate will begin taking submissions and ideas today and you for updates and resources, follow @likephate on Twitter.
