Poetry Book Publisher Xlibris Welcomes 2012 Olympics with a Poetry Book Feature

Poetry book publisher Xlibris welcomes the 2012 Summer Olympics with a monthlong feature in the Indie Authors Roundup website on Xlibris-published Kermite Bristow’s poetry book A Torchbearer’s Salute to 100 Years of Olympic Spirit.

Written in rhyme, A Torchbearer’s Salute to 100 Years of Olympic Spirit tells of the lives of Olympic heroes through the ages, paying tribute to the men and women whose passion and love of sport has kept the Olympic spirit alive.

Bristow won his first international poetry contest out of Baltimore, awarded by the International Library of Poetry in 2000. In April 2004, he placed in a national poetry contest of the American Poets Society.

The self-published poet teamed up with poetry book publisher Xlibris in 2004 and has since become a proud member of Xlibris’ 35,000-strong author community.

As a poetry book publisher, Xlibris offers a full range of editing, design, and marketing services for poetry authors looking to publish their poetry book independently. Visit www.xlibris.com for more information.

Why Xlibris is the Right Poetry Book Publisher for You

Writing poetry is arduous. A poet must be able to inject as much meaning as possible using only a few words. The process is similar to accommodating an entire house in a suitcase.

Because of too much investment in writing, not all poets are able to submit their works to a poetry book publisher. Perhaps some believe writing to be a personal endeavor and consider dealing with a poetry book publisher as selling out. Some poets consider poetry their labor   of love and fear that publishing with a traditional poetry book publisher will rob them of creative control, and even rights, over their book.

With a poetry book publisher like Xlibris, poets no longer need to worry. With Xlibris, self-publishing a poetry book becomes a smooth ride that serves the author’s own purpose. An independent poetry book publisher does not shelve a manuscript or take years to print a book. With its print-on-demand technology, books are printed within the shortest time possible and made available for as long as orders come.

 The Xlibris poetry book publisher has an array of features that suits every poet’s self-publishing needs. You have a choice to print it in either black and white or full color—in hardback, paperback, or e-book formats. The service even extends to choosing professional templates for the internal layout and working with a designer to have the cover you envisioned.

With the independent poetry book publisher Xlibris, you have full creative control on your book—because it is yours.
