Based in McLean, Virginia, U.S.A., IndyPublish aims to help writers publish and market their books as print-on-demand and electronic books. The service competes with a growing number of other epublishing companies looking to profit from offering publishing services to authors. A list of epublishers can be found in writerswrite.com's epublishing section. IndyPublish.com claims that its business model allows it and authors to make a profit even on titles with low sales volume. IndyPublish books will be available through traditional and online booksellers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com and through wholesale distributors such as Ingram and Baker & Taylor. IndyPublish.com also claims to have a strategic agreement in place with a major Digital Rights Management (DRM) provider, which it will disclose at a later date. ``We believe that authors deserve the highest royalties for their hard work and risk,'' said Maurice Benesch, President and Co-founder of IndyPublish. ``Internet technologies have made it possible to radically reduce the costs associated with the publishing process. The new economics of publishing will benefit consumers and authors, as well as savvy publishers. The IndyPublish system not only creates new and better revenue streams for authors, but for any and all individuals and corporations that own content.''
