Alexandria Library facilitates the publication of books by the authors themselves, and it is the author who decides to what extent to use us, controlling and costing out the whole process, and keeping exclusive and complete ownership of his or her work. Due to brand-new technologies, printing and editing costs have been lowered, allowing for mini print runs—from 50 copies on— at very reasonable prices, with the flexibility to reprint more copies as the need arises. Our books have nothing to keep them from being compared in quality and look to those produced by large publishing concerns.

These new technologies also play a role in overcoming the obstacles that an unknown author faces in trying to promote and sell his/her book. When talking to large bookstore chains something akin to what happened with large publishers takes place--they don’t want to take risks, and so they allot their limited space to those publications they believe have an established market. Amazon.com, e-Bay, and your very own web page with Alexandria Library, in addition to other virtual stores, allow you to place your work, not in one locality, but rather within worldwide reach.

If your goal is to reach the big publishing houses, then the best way to achieve it is to already have your book in circulation.

We at Alexandria Library have the firm conviction that you need not be a professional writer, it is enough for you to have some know-how or notion about a specific topic, or the ability and interest to research information about a topic considered of interest by you or the public.

We offer you either a complete package, or piecemeal services. We also offer translation into any world language, e-books, audio books, as well as copyediting and proofreading.
