Unicorn Press
The Unicorn press is a self-publishing concept and vehicle created by Gaines Steer to facilitate the features of publication: writing; printing; marketing; and distribution of select creative works. Not governed by the dictates, nor limitations, of the publishing industry, the Unicorn Press is free to “serve the artist rather than the industry….” Inquiries are welcome.
Press Release
The Unicorn Press announces…..
that it will accept books for review. In particular, we will render reviews of books that are self-published and/or under promoted. Having published our own books, we have decided to provide a needed and necessary service for other brave writers who have decided not to enter the arduous world of getting a book conventionally published (and reviewed) in the politicized era in which modern writers labor.
Not only is it the task of the writer to produce a book worth reading, the emerging writer must often possess the wherewithal to manage marketing, sales, promotion and distribution of the published work. Much to the chagrin of many a fine writer, the process of gaining a book review is governed by power and influence that is designed to maintain the status quo. That may be an understatement!
The Unicorn Press will review books that it deems worthy of critical support by writing reviews that authors and publicists may use in their promotional programs. We charge $100, plus postal overhead, for a review. There is no charge if we decline to review for any reason. Typically, our reviews require about 10 days, average 250 words and can be returned digitally or via hard copy.
