“I wanted to thank you for letting me know about a feature that PW was writing. Thanks to your heads up, we received a great write up and one of our titles was pictured in the article. The timing was incredible. That article impressed many of the producers I have met with. Again, thanks for your incredible weekly newsletter.” — Ken Leebow, Web: http://www.300Incredible.com.

“Even though I have been publishing since the l960s and have over a hundred titles under my belt, John Kremer knows more about publishing then just about anyone else — and is willing to share his knowledge and contacts with others for a reasonable price (sometimes for nothing). This website is a must for small publishers, especially those getting started who may not know which way to turn.” — Timothy Beckley, president, Global Communications

Our Favorite Causes

15% of sales on this website are donated to the following groups. That means 15% of what you actually pay (excluding postage), not what we net or profit. We like to keep it clean and simple. When people promise to give 10% or some other percentage of their profits, that means nothing. So many companies, books, etc. don't generate a profit, so 10% of nothing becomes nothing. It's all smoke and mirrors. We actually give 15% of the proceeds from sales via this website's order form to the following causes. Now you know.

Nature Conservancy, American Cancer Society, Sierra Club, American Red Cross, World Wildlife Fund, Multiple Sclerosis Association, National Wildlife Foundation, Special Olympics, Doctors Without Borders, National Museum of the American Indian, The Ocean Conservancy, The Humane Society of the United States, Worldwatch Institute, American Rivers, Habitat for Humanity, Arthritis Foundation, National Arbor Day Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, St. Labre Indian School, National Audubon Society, The Smithsonian, CARE, The Archaeological Conservancy, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Easter Seals, American Lung Association, March of Dimes, UNICEF, National Parks Conservation Association, National Geographic Society, Alzheimer's Association, Environmental Defense, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Paralyzed Vets of America, New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, and American Diabetes Association.
