Dymocks unveils D Publishing, a revolutionary service for all Australians to create and publish their own books from start to finish

8 December 2011 – Budding authors looking to release their works can now access D Publishing – www.dpublishing.com – to create, print, publish and commercially distribute their books and eBooks with Dymocks.

The new and innovative web-based publishing service from the nation’s largest bookseller allows every Australian to become a published author. By enabling authors to take greater control of the book production and publishing process, D Publishing provides the opportunity to produce one or thousands of books.

Dymocks General Manager of eCommerce, Michael Allara, says the publishing service begins a new evolution of the book industry; one that not only offers more books to Australian readers, but gives budding authors hands-on experience with the publishing process.

“We’re incredibly excited to reveal D Publishing. Unlike the conventional publishing model, D Publishing is driven by the author. The author can make decisions about book content, cover, distribution and printing via our website for a far lower cost than a traditional custom or vanity publishing house would charge,” said Mr Allara.

“Authors who publish with D Publishing will find we do not approve or reject authors based on perceived literary merit or commercial viability of their work – the author determines whether they are good enough to be published.”

Books and eBooks published through D Publishing will be available for purchase on the Dymocks website. Books will also be presented to Dymocks bookshops nationally and will have the potential to be stocked and sold in-store.

“D Publishing aims to be relatively simple, and takes out the complexities of book production, publishing, commercial terms and distribution. We encourage authors to visit www.dpublishing.com with a draft manuscript, preferably edited and proofread, to start producing and publishing their book,” continued Mr Allara.

“The service will see a manuscript turn into a published work within a few hours and the physical book itself can be produced within a week and a half. The service is as much for individuals as it is for groups, institutions or small and medium sized businesses; and aims to provide Australians with the tools they need to create and publish their own book from start to finish.

“We look forward to seeing the new wave of D Publishing authors come through as we know each Australian has a story to tell, and the purpose of this service is to realise this potential.

“We’re the people’s publisher, here for those who are curious about taking the next step to become a published author. We want to find Australia’s next bestseller,” concluded Mr Allara.

Further enhancements, including professional editing and review services, will be rolled out over the coming months.
