Blurb Inc.: For Everyone Who Has a Story To Tell
Blurb Inc. today announced its newly launched start-to-finish publishing software and service company designed to meet the demands of anyone and everyone who wants to publish a book. For not a lot of cash you can own that cookbook, photo album, travelogue, poetry collection or novel you've always dreamed of authoring.
"Holding a professionally printed book with your name on the cover is a truly amazing feeling – it's one of those experiences everyone should have," says Blurb CEO and founder, Eileen Gittins. "Already we can create our own iMovies, blogs, Podcasts, and playlists in no time. Why not books? At Blurb, we're bringing publishing in line with those dreams and expectations.
"I have yet to have a conversation about Blurb where the other person does not start talking – animatedly – about 'their' book. Whether it's an archive of rare movie posters, a collection of favorite blog postings or favorite Italian recipes, a trip to the Amazon rainforest, or the story of a beloved grandparent's journey through Ellis Island – it seems every person has a book in mind. And there is nothing in the world like seeing that book printed and bound for the first time. Serious goosebumps."
Blurb is currently in beta, though from the looks of the website the testers have done a thorough job. Should be fully available in March/April.
