Joshua Tree Publishing has four imprints:Joshua Tree Publishing, Centaur Books, Heroides Publishing, and Chrial House.Clcik on the name for more information.
Centaur Books
Centaur Books, an independent imprint of Joshua Tree Publishing, is dedicated to helping first-time and seasoned authors in their writing careers. If you ever wrote a book, you know that getting published is very difficult. In today's marketplace, authors, especially first-time ones, are confronted with "self-publishing" companies that are really vanity presses in disguise. While choosing that route may very well be a means to getting published, a writer's reputation is tarnished by association with companies whose main goal is to charge your credit card rather than read your book. That is why Joshua Tree Publishing started a new imprint called Centaur Books.(more at JoshuaTreePublishing.com)
Heroides Publishing
"We are pleased to announce that Heroides Publishing, LLC, has become an imprint of Joshua Tree Publishing," President John Paul Owles announced. "I was instrumental in establishing Heroides and was very flattered when Ruchel Louis Coetzee expressed her desire to be part of our company. Her book, PULANI A memoir of a young woman in apartheid South Africa, has been very well received.
"What impressed me the most was that Heroides was dedicated to telling the Stories of the Heroes of our Times. Heroides will continue that pursuit by combining traditional book publishing with new technology, to create an innovative multimedia platform for writers." (more at Heroides.com)
Chiral House
"When I first started Joshua Tree Publishing, I received calls from first-time authors seeking help getting their books published. While I helped many self-publish their books, there were several I worked with to help them get their book ready...and published them. But our emphasis was not there. We were looking for authors whose manuscripts were ready to publish.
"As years went on, I became concerned how authors were being taken advantage of—dare I say, ripped off—by the vanity presses. Today of course, they disguise themselves as helping authors "self-publish" their books...while attaching their ISBN numbers to those books, which in reality makes them the publisher. So much for honesty in business. (more at ChiralHouse.com)
