Arbor Books Authors Receive Rave Reveiws

Arbor Books is pleased to announce that four of their authors recently received rave reviews from Kirkus Discoveries.

New York, NY, June 01, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Arbor Books, one of America’s leading firms specializing in ghostwriting and self-publishing, is pleased to announce that four of their authors recently received rave reviews from Kirkus Discoveries.

Self-published books have largely been ignored by established book reviewers-until now. “With a professional presentation, a solid marketing strategy and sufficient advanced planning, even self-published books can get reviewed,” says Joel Hochman, co-owner of Arbor Books and nationally recognized publishing industry expert.

As part of their comprehensive marketing services, Arbor Books sends out bound galleys, actual exact replica of the finished book, to potential reviewers. With a great review, aspiring authors stand a much better chance of gaining distribution or selling their book to an agent or publisher.

Kirkus has remained one of the most reputable names in book reviews for over 70 years. Kirkus has recently expanded its umbrella of critics to cover authors and publishers of overlooked titles so that they, too, can receive authoritative, careful assessment of their books.

“A review from Kirkus is an indispensable marketing tool,” says co-owner Larry Leichman, who along with Hochman authored the new book, No Publishers Needed: The Insider's Guide to Creating a Bestseller. “As every ghostwriter, publisher and editor knows, the Kirkus brand has long been trusted by the publishing industry as a vehicle for promoting and building awareness of a newly published book”

The books reviewed by Kirkus were:

• From the Trenches: Advice to Parents Raising a Child With Special Needs by Carol Prosser
• The Council of G.O.D.S. by D.C. Koller
• Exit 55: Your On-Ramp to Terror by Tom DeMola
• Ice Cream in the Cupboard by Patrick Moffet

A full-service, turnkey publishing company with a staff of 100 writers, designers and publicists, Arbor Books works with mainstream publishing companies, independent publishers and self-publishing authors throughout the process of manuscript preparation, cover design, illustration, printing, distribution, book marketing and author publicity.

“We are your one stop shop for getting your book out there,” says Hochman. “Arbor Books strives to help authors write, design, publish and market their books just as the major publishers would, for a fraction of the cost. We know the business inside out and we bring our know-how to every book project we undertake.”

With its well-deserved worldwide reputation, the Arbor Books ghostwriting division works with Fortune 500 companies, public relations firms, advertising companies, Hollywood celebrities, sports figures, politicians, businesspeople, public speakers, financial advisors and others interested in having their fiction or nonfiction books become reality.

National bestsellers, movie deals and selection by major publishing houses have all been the order of the day for many Arbor Books authors.

Arbor Books authors have appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Montel Williams Show CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC News and FOXNews, and have become columnists for major newspapers and magazines, including USA Today.

Arbor Books authors sell their books through more than 40,000 stores worldwide, including Barnes & Noble, Borders, Costco, Wal-Mart and Amazon.com, as well as through specialty catalogs, distributors and book clubs.

Cofounders Hochman and Leichman are publishing industry veterans and are listed in the Literary Market Place. Arbor Books is a member of the Better Business Bureau.
