Tate Publishing gives you more than just a book
In this day and age, information is shared from many different directions and levels. Although we believe the paper book will never go away, more and more you find people turning to the internet, their iPods and even their PDA's to get the information and entertainment they're looking for. That's why, in addition to the traditional paper book, we can now release your title as an audio book, audio book digital download and eBook.
The digital age is bringing to the publishing industry an incredible demand for high quality audio books. With an audio book, characters from a novel come alive. Information from a self-help book becomes more accessable to people too busy to read a traditional paper book. With the launch of our new audio book division Tate Out Loud, your book will available to those who want to hear what you have to say.
In addition to the physical compact disc product being made available through nationwide distribution, we have partnered with Audible.com and Apple's iTunes to make our audio books available as a digital download. Audible.com is the internet's leading provider of spoken audio entertainment, information, and educational programming via digital downloads. In addition Audible.com is Apple's iTunes Store's exclusive provider of audio books. This exciting agreement between Tate Publishing and Audible.com means that our audio books will have major representation in the digital download market in all the major places people look for downloadable audio books.
The audio book digital downloads are also provided to anyone that purchases the paper book. eLIVE stands for "Listen, Imagine, View and Experience" and is an exciting concept that is brand new to the industry. When someone purchases the paper version of a book, the back page of the book provides a code that allows the reader to download the audio version from our website at no extra charge—increasing the value of the paper book!
Another part of the industry that is gaining popularity is the eBook release. An e-book is an electronic version of the paper book that a person can purchase and download to read on their computer, PDA, cell phone or a stand-alone e-book reader (i.e. the Sony Reader). Not only will people be able to purchase the paper version of your book, but they will have the option of purchasing the book in this electronic digital format.
Just announced, children's books can also be released in a 3D anaglyph version—complete with 3D glasses—where illustrations literally jump off the page. 3D is once again creating excitement within the film and television industry, and the children's book line of Tate Publishing captures this excitement and delivers it to young imaginations nationwide.
Other options available are the creation of a book trailer and a customized website. A book trailer—just like a movie trailer— is a 30 second commercial for your book and is an excellent way to create excitement for your book at speaking engagements or as part of a viral marketing campaign on websites such as YouTube, MySpace and Facebook. And since a website is almost a necessity these days, our staff can create and host a website for the life of the book where you can update the content whenever you need!
