GOLDPANNER BOOKS brings together:

• Advances in digital print technology which allow small runs of high quality books to be produced quickly and 'on demand'.  This cuts out the traditional risk for publishers of having to print and store thousands of copies of a book.  We can therefore risk printing books that might not find a traditional publisher.
• The potential for internet search engines to bring people searching particular subjects to look at books that cover their area of interest, so creating a marketplace for good books right outside the traditional bookshop system.
• The fact that for every book published in the traditional way there are probably 200 that never make it.  We have all heard about the best sellers that were sent to 12 publishers before anyone spotted the potential.  You might wonder what the first 11 were thinking about.  The answer is unless you are famous, notorious, or are already a successful author you are unlikely to find an agent, and without an agent your book is unlikely even to be read.  Also your book needs to fit a safe known and profitable genre.  Most authors find such rejection difficult to sustain. So we know there are hundreds of good books that are never published. 

Using these three facts we offer readers panning the internet for subject areas of interest to them the chance to find that flash of gold in the stream of life and ideas.

For authors we offer a new way for your book to reach an audience.  We also offer full professional editorial services to get your book into print.  See 'For Authors' for details. 

BOOKSHOPS AND PUBLISHERS:  We are always happy to talk about additional sales and distribution.  We have sold through online retailers such as Amazon, and through some bookshops by mutual agreement.  Indeed some of our titles were first published by another publisher as 'print on demand' but without the buy online facility we offer.  If you would like to see if we can help you please do call or email eco-nomic@supanet.com .
