PARTNERS WANTED

To produce and publish local language print versions of The Online World resources handbook.

INVITATION

I am looking for two kinds of partners:
    (1) WRITERS - for joint publication of a PRINT version of the book
        in your country. This version may have to be translated into 
        another language. Local examples may have to be added to make 
        the book more interesting for readers in your market.

    (2) PUBLISHERS interested in printing the book in a given
        country/language.
If you are interested in discussing this, please make contact with Odd de Presno at <presno@eunet.no>.

Here are some details:

WRITERS

Currently, I am working with writers in the following countries:

Australia, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Japan, Kenya, Lithuania, and Norway.

If you live in a country not on this list, I am interested in discussing a partnership with you.

What I have in mind is the following:

    (1) You locate a publisher interested in publishing our book in your
        country. To help you do this, I can send you a draft synopsis that 
        you can give to prospective publishers. Its purpose is to make it 
        easier for publishers to evaluate the marketability of the book. 

    (2) We sign a cooperation agreement.
        You will get 50 percent of royalties earned on sales of your 
        version of the book. 

        (Please do not discuss royalty rates with prospective publishers
        until having discussed it with me. By knowing what other authors
        are getting, it may be easier to negotiate.)

    (3) You negotiate a contract with a local publisher. 
        To help you, I will give you the following:

        * A collection of marketing ideas and suggestions, including hints
        about what publishers to prefer, the contents of the contract with
        the publisher, advertisement and promotion, how to use the English
        language shareware version to enhance the chances of the printed
        product, and more.

        * Access to my private online partner conference. Through the
        conference library, you will have access to
             - Illustration files (graphics format),
             - Other marketing material, and help files.

PUBLISHERS

(1) Partners in the following countries are looking for a publisher:

Argentina, Japan, Kenya, and Lithuania.

     If you are a publisher in any of these countries, please contact me. 
     I'll be pleased to tell you how the online shareware version can help 
     sell a print version of the book. 
(2) Publishers in other countries:
     If you already have a writer lined up, please do not hesitate to
     make contact. If not, then I may be able to help you find one.
Thanks,

Odd de Presno
