SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 25, 2013 – Digital publishing start ups and multimedia companies are increasingly choosing INscribe Digital as their e-book distribution and marketing partner. As these innovative companies develop new business models and audiences, they’ve found that the two and a half year-old e-book distributor has the right mix of market smarts and technical flexibility to maximize sales of their genre and literary fiction, educational and/or general nonfiction titles.
“We are seeing agile new publishing companies targeting niche markets with specialized content and hybrid literary forms,” said Anne Kubek, Executive Vice President/General Manager at INscribe Digital. “New marketing opportunities and our highly automated and transparent digital distribution platform allow emerging players to innovate with a lot of control, and they stand out because of it.”
For digital publishing startups like Ink Monster LLC, INscribe Digital offers crucial expertise in reaching target markets. “Three key industry trends drove us to choose INscribe as our distribution partner,” said Christina Bauer, the company’s “Business Monster.” “First, today’s heavy book buyers are increasingly e-readers with a focused area of interest, such as paranormal romance. Second, those buyers discover new books in their favorite area from specialized web properties, such as blogs. And third, buyers like to see publishers who specialize in their interests. INscribe has the industry know-how, retailer relationships, and e-book focus that helps companies like Ink Monster succeed. We’re excited to work with them.”
For integrated media companies expanding into ebooks, such as Tertia, INscribe offers e-book expertise as well as deep technical understanding of digital formats, reading devices and distribution channels. “INscribe Digital’s strong U.S. and global retailer relationships, along with their parent company’s decade of experience in music distribution, gives us confidence in their ability to handle the challenges of the rapidly evolving digital marketplace and a wide variety of formats and devices,” said Michael Novak, CEO of Tertia, and former Chairman of Cogswell Polytechnic College, the leading digital media college in Silicon Valley.
