Gay Authors Get a Break & Get Published

There are more and more self-publishing companies to choose from these days, however, now gay and lesbian authors finally have a publishing site devoted to their work, www.rainbowauthors.com. RainbowAuthors.com, a Chances Press LLC website, affords GLBT authors an opportunity to publish their own work as well as other publishing, editing, designing, publicizing, and distribution options, including a free publishing and sales option. All publishing packages utilize Wordclay’s breakthrough and user-friendly do-it-yourself publishing technology.

RainbowAuthors.com also offers free publishing and resource links specific to marketing a GLBT title and have partnered with Gaybookstoreonline.com who provides authors with an additional possible promotional opportunity.

Michael Holloway Perronne, a novelist and RainbowAuthors.com founder, is a no stranger to taking risks. In 2004, he developed his own marketing plan and self-published his first novel, “A Time Before”. His book has sold thousands of copies, and won the Bronze Award in Gay & Lesbian Fiction in the ForeWord Magazine 2006 Book of the Year Awards.

It was his success with self-publishing that inspired him to start RainbowAuthors.com.

“I realized that through my own publishing experience I had begun to build a valuable database of publishing contacts for gay and lesbian authors,” Perronne said. “It was then I began to think about providing other gay authors who were looking to go “indie” with a publishing outlet tailored to their needs. A partnership with Wordclay proved to be the perfect opportunity.”

Perronne also stated “Gay authors may have access to fewer traditional routes to publish their writing, and RainbowAuthors.com provides another format for these important voices to be heard.”

In addition, writers who register on the site by 9/30/08 have the chance to win a one year Wordclay ISBN and Channel Distribution package for their book.
