Happy Third Birthday Authors Publish!

It seems so strange to me now that Authors Publish has been around for three years now. When we started out we reviewed two literary journals every week and had one feature article and a writing prompt.

By our first birthday we were reviewing one literary journal and one manuscript publisher every week. The writing prompt and feature article still went out every week. We added the manuscript publisher reviews based on requests and I am so glad that we did. At first Emily Harstone had a hard time finding good ones, but overtime her researching became top notch and now each year we have reviewed more exciting and established publishers.

By our second birthday we stopped publishing the writing prompts and started to focus more and more on providing quality ebooks for our readers. We have now published 7 eBooks. Many of them now are now going into their second or third editions. I must say that I am particularly proud of our eBooks. I feel like each one contains quality information focused on an important subject. I also love the fact that we are able to pay our authors a significant amount of money to write them.

Now it is our third birthday! We would love to get some feedback from you, our wonderful readers, on what new features you would like. Be it a new regular feature or a one off article, or a suggestion for a new eBook. Please send us any and all feedback you have to support@authorspublish.com.

Over the years as Authors Publish has changed so has our lives. When we started Authors Publish we were about to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and now we are approaching our fifth. When Authors Publish first started we were living in an apartment and now we own a house, and have a dog and one very adorable seven month old.

Thank you so much for being our reader! Without you Authors Publish would not be around.

We would also love to thank all the wonderful writers who have contributed over the years to our publication.

Warmly,
Caitlin and Jacob Jans
