"To prospective writers.
As a professional artist with around two hundred published paintings, I appreciate the value of personal input from a publisher. It’s an important ingredient in a writer-publisher relationship. Of course, we all know the word ‘personal’ can be found under “P” in the dictionary, but believe me, not too many publishers look up its meaning.
God smiled on me the day I came across Eric Patterson and Avid Readers Publishing Group. I had been through so many formatting nightmares with my previous publisher that I was about to call it quits. Needless to say, breaking into the world of published novels is a far cry from my forty years in the art world. I guess I’ve been spoiled, having had a great N.Y. Agent to handle the licensing contracts from numerous art publishers.
So, if you’re reading this, you’re already off to a great start. You’ve short cut the painful elimination process. The process of sorting through the many publishing houses full of promises. Publishing houses more proficient at ‘nickel and dimeing’ a hopeful writer to death than they are in assisting in a smooth passage and ‘pre-agreed upon’ cost of production.
With each of my three manuscripts, Eric Patterson has been in contact with me several times each and every day by email and phone. He personally handles the formatting as well as my inexcusable editing. He has worked far and beyond the hours of any sane person and I thank him a million fold for his dedication and priceless contribution in hours and insurmountable assistance. He won’t like me saying this, but he also refused to allow me to pay him any extra toward the unexpected amount of corrections that I dumped onto him time after time . . . after time.
I have, in the past, worked with another “major” book publisher, and by comparison with ARPG, they were amateurs with absolutely ZERO personal contact. Eric Patterson is by far the best thing that has happened to my book publishing. I hate to admit it, but realistically, I might have thrown the towel in with the other publishers, they just don’t have it. They have a lot of my money, but they don’t have “it.”
Eric kept the vision alive and produced a top quality paperback - and he is FFFFAST !!!!!!
Eric Patterson and Avid Readers Publishing Group has . . . “IT.” Thanks Eric. As I said many, many times since we began the first book . . . you are a saint mate. And the bookmarks are spectacular too!"

QUALITY BOOKS WITHOUT THE EXPENSE
Books Published
For only $199 you can get a quality book published! And you don't have to buy hundreds of books all at once because this is print on demand. You buy only the number of books you want, when you want. Your book will also be distributed through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and others, so it will be available online.
You can also create your own royalties, which will be sent to you quarterly, based on the price of your book that YOU decide. For example, if you publish a 100-page paperback book and decide to sell it for a competitive price of $7.95 you will still make a $3.23 profit off of each book sold. Our book prices are extremely low.
The author maintains all rights to his/her work. In addition, we do not require an exclusive contract.

Because we use a large printing company, we can offer the same services as the biggest print-on-demand publishing companies out there. We have several choices of book sizes, small and large paperback, small and large hardcover, creme-colored paper or white, and colored pages or black and white.
Just send us your manuscript in Microsoft Word, and we'll custom format it for you. Provide an image for the cover, and we'll set it up for you as well. Or you can use one of our free generic covers. You can even send us a picture.
If you purchase 500 books personally, all at once or over a period of time, you will receive a $100 bonus. And that's for EVERY 500 books you buy. So after 1,000 books, your publishing fee could be reduced to 0, depending on the size of your book. So basically, it would be free.
