Someone’s got to take up the pen to defend print. We publish in print and e-book formats.

If hard-copy books aren’t going to be relegated to the shelves of collectors as they were before paperbacks came around in the 1930s, publishers have to embrace digital technology, not fear it’s the death knell for print.

E-books are rapidly eclipsing the sales of hard-copy books, with sales seeing a 159% increase in Q1 2011 alone. Hard-copy book sales declined 23% in the same period.

Why Choose Green Effect Media?

Do you have an earnest desire to change the world?

We would love the chance to review your manuscript.

We purchase outright a limited number of manuscripts each year, and work side-by-side with many additional authors during the publishing process.

Together, we will decide what works best for both parties. In those cases where we are unable to purchase your manuscript outright, we can discuss a profit-sharing model, where you, the author, earn at least 50% of profits from all titles sold.

We are passionate about publishing ideas that can change the world.

We believe the work of many talented individuals is too-easily and often overlooked in the fast-paced quest for profit and the holy grail of publishing, the next best-seller. It’s who you know, not how you write.

It can also be hard for some writers who have something to say find an outlet for their ideas. It’s not that we live in a society that bans books or censors information, but we do live in a world that values sound bites over substance, and profitability and sales over almost anything else.

Short-run publishing will never take any fat cats to dinner.

But it just might put new ideas on the table.

Our business model hinges on smaller volume, community-based sales supporting local economies.

GEM works with independent bookstores, libraries and other outlets that suport local economies. Short-run publishing will never take any fat cats to dinner. But it just might put unearth some new gems and put some new ideas on the table.

National chain bookstores and newspapers are failing because their model pursues enormous profits and mass-market sales.

When they sink, they bring whole economies down with them. Greed isn't good. Buying and selling locally is a recipe to help your own community thrive.

  How can books change lives?
The pen is mighter than the e-book..
  Mighter than the mass market.

Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
