Being Green

It is easy to be green!

There are many ways for a publisher to be green and environmentally friendly. We consistently strive to make our carbon footprint as small as possible.

 1) First we don’t do large print runs. This means trees aren’t wasted in books that sit on the shelves and are not sold.

 2) Ebooks: Since our inception in 1997 we have been producing ebooks. We believe that ebooks are an important aspect of the future of publishing and our planet. Ebooks are easy to read and use very little of our planets resources.

 3) We don’t accept paper manuscripts. Again keeping the work digital allows us to honor our wonderful trees.

 4) We don’t use CD’s and DVD’s as our back ups. Our back-ups are done on secure drives that can be rewritten many times.

 5) Print ready work is transmitted to printers via electronic transfers.

 6) Editing is done on the computer thus saving reams of paper every month.

 7) We recycle all of our equipment in a manner that is environmentally savvy.

 8) We use equipment as long as possible keeping our processes as simple as possible. This keeps us from consuming unneeded resources.

 9) All paper, bottles, and materials are recycled in our offices.

 10) Machines, equipment and lights are all turned off when they are not being used.

 We hope you will join us in our endeavors as a green publisher.
