Seven Realms
Seven Realms was founded in 2009. The founders envisioned a company dedicated to bringing the very best
in fiction to readers of a variety of genres, the two divided the company into seven different categories or
"Realms". It was their hope that Seven Realms would have something exciting and fun for everyone.
But the variety of genres wasn't enough. They wanted more. After perusing the offerings of a number of other
small press publishers, it became apparent that quality was the main ingredient lacking from most. So, they
have dedicated themselves to publishing nothing but the best written, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat
fiction they can find.
In addition to publishing the best, heart-pounding stories around...Seven Realms is committed to something
else as well. The Family. Our books are hand-picked with the family in mind. It is our goal to produce great
quality books that can be passed on from parent to child to grandparent with pride and without fear of any
inappropriate content. That being said, if we were to apply the rating system of the Motion Picture Association
of America, our books would be given PG or PG-13 ratings. You can be sure that if a book is by Seven
Realms, it's quality fiction for the entire family!

The Changing Landscape and Fulfilling the Dream...
The face of publishing has changed drastically in the last several years. The introduction of the Internet
as a viable means of commerce has helped shape the market in new and exciting ways, opening the doors
to the publishing world that had until recently, been at the mercy of the big publishing houses.
So, how exactly has the Internet (and the digital age in general) changed publishing for the better?
Simple. It's ushered in a new technology known as "print on demand." With POD technology, publishers
have an opportunity to compete with the larger companies. By creating books with great covers,
professional layout design, and fantastic, edge of your seat stories, small publishers are able to reach out
to a world wide market through the use of Internet retail sites such as Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com,
and others. Since books are only printed when they are purchased (by either the consumer or a retail
store), there is very little overhead...allowing the smaller publisher to give some serious competition to the
bigger ones.
Seven Realms Publishing utilizes this same technology. We approach the publishing process exactly the
same as all the others in terms of quality (i.e. Acquisition, editing, layout, design, etc). The only major
difference is that the overhead, being lower, enables us to open those coveted doors to new, fantastic
authors who might never have had a chance before.
______________________________________________________________________________
So, How Does It Work?
POD? What does that mean you're a vanity press? Not at all. Vanity publishers charge upfront fees to
potential authors. They then, on behalf of the writer, produce a book and distribute it to a limited number
of outlets. The success of the book hinges completely on the author. After all, the vanity press has
already made their money...why bother devoting resources to sell the author's book?
Seven Realms is a true, small and independent publisher. The author doesn't pay a dime to see his/her
work in print (except for whatever copies they choose to purchase for their own needs or marketing). And
they are paid traditionally with royalty checks paid on a quarterly basis. Depending on previous
successes, the author can even get paid an advance for subsequent books.
The only difference between our company and one of the larger publishers is that our inventory is
completely digital. Our printer/distributor produces each copy of the book the moment it is purchased from
one of the numerous retail outlets. There is no difference between our books and those of the major
houses. As a matter of fact, our books are printed by the same printers used by all the major publishers.
