From the press release:

Waterside Productions is now utilizing a new eBook model which allows authors to receive 75 percent of all eBook gross revenues generated by Waterfront Pressin partnership with Vook

Cardiff by the Sea, California (PRWEB) April 05, 2012

Mega literary agency Waterside Productions Inc., in collaboration with Vook and its new eBook creation, has entered a partnership to create Waterfront Press as the primary publishing platform for Waterside Productions-represented authors to publish and promote their eBooks and enhanced eBooks.

“Waterside Productions Inc. has always been an early adapter of technology opportunities for the more than three-hundred authors we represent, from the enabling of online courses to utilizing print-on-demand for our print titles,” says William Gladstone, Waterside’s founder and agent to best selling authors like Eckhart Tolle, radio personality Thom Hartmann and known for development of the For Dummies series. “We have been exploring the most elegant, efficient and cost-effective ways for our clients to gain the best advantage from the digital rights to their books.”

Featured initial titles due to be published in June 2012 from Waterfront Press include The Akasha Paradigm In Science: (R)Evolution at the Cutting Edge by Nobel Prize nominee, systems theorist and bestselling author Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Beyond The Power of The Subconscious Mind by Jim Jensen and The Book of the Wish by internationally renowned consultant and healerRuben Papian.

“It is gratifying to see major industry leaders such as Waterfront Press, the latest subsidiary of highly respected Waterside Productions, choosing to partner with us,” stated Matthew Cavnar of Vook. “Our goal is to provide publishers, authors and literary agents a one stop solution for maximizing the creation, distribution and sales of their enhanced and text eBooks. We are confident that we have created a cost effective solution that can evolve as digital technologies evolve to ensure the best reader experience and ubiquitous distribution to all eBook reading devices.”

According to Gladstone, there will additionally be a simultaneous release of an enhanced eBook version of Ervin Laszlo’s The Akasha Paradigm In Science. The ability to release both full eBooks and enhanced eBooks simultaneously by utilizing the Vook eBook Platform proved a major incentive in choosing Vook as the eBook distribution partner for Waterfront Press.

“Whenever possible we will be retaining digital rights and publishing through our new imprint Waterfront Press. We recognize that many of the larger publishers will resist this initiative and we will remain flexible on a case-by-case basis,” adds Gladstone. “However, as digital eBooks and enhanced eBooks become the primary and not the secondary source of income for authors, we believe that authors and not publishers should receive the majority of revenues. Our model entitles authors to receive 75 percent of all eBook gross revenues generated by Waterfront Press in partnership with Vook.”
