We’re very excited to announce that our brand new Pleasant Word website was launched today.

It has been given a great makeover by our in-house design team and looks better than ever. Our programmers and artists were hard at work into the early hours of this morning making the finishing touches, and we want to thank them for their “above and beyond” efforts.

The new Pleasant Word website is more user-friendly, more informative, and easier to navigate. We’ve paid special attention to the sign up process, making it leaner and simpler and creating a smooth “shopping cart” experience. Our on-line publishing guide is still full of all the information new authors need to know before deciding on a print-on-demand publisher. Oh, and there’s a link to a great blog :D with all kinds of advice, tips, and useful articles for authors.

To mark the occasion, the first 35 authors who sign up for a Blue Ribbon package will receive a unique special offer – 20 extra free books (that’s 50 total) and a Jumpstart Marketing Kit (1,000 business cards and bookmarks). It’s a smart combination. Not only does it provide the high quality publishing that Pleasant Word is known for, but it gives each author extra tools to promote sales after their book is in print.

Marketing is an important – and often overlooked – step in getting a book into the hands of readers. That’s why WinePress and Pleasant Word offer such a comprehensive range of publicity and promotional options. Now, new authors can get a real “jumpstart” – with a $650 value – absolutely free.

There’s never been a better time to visit the Pleasant Word website and become a Pleasant Word author.
