Why Antechinus? ( ANTEK-QUINE-US )
Antechinus is the name of a small creature that I featured in my book "Poet in Paradise" Originally written and published in Kuranda. In fact I started to write a children's story featuring a cinnamon Antechinus.
This tiny Rat - like creature lives a solitary life until he meets his mate. They create a nest full of children and then he wanders off into the bush to die.
I think writers are a bit like that. They live a solitary existence, plagued with this need to create and die. Often alone because they are too hard to live with.
I decided that Antechinus Publishing would be "the publisher that didn't give a Rat's for convention".
E Books, Audio Books in MP3 download form would be the basis. That way we can save money and save a few million trees.
Having lived in the rain forest I know how important it is to preserve our wilderness areas. Paper is one of the greatest destroyers of trees on this planet.
We will publish 'Print on demand' should the sales prove worthwhile.
So there you have it - The birth of an Antechinus - I hope it won't be the death of me!
Print on Demand. Another great way to save trees and money.
Should a book prove to have the right appeal we will list it in 'Bowker's Books in Print'
That way your book will be seen by all the major bookstores and wholesalers around the world.
They can order using your book's unique ISBN number and the book is printed and distributed within 48 hours.
You can alway's talk to us about this if you feel your book would stand a better chance in print.
