The Hatching of Incubation Press
Incubation Press was founded in October 2006 by Linden Gross, best-selling author, editor and writing coach. Gross experienced firsthand the perils many writers face when dealing with larger publishing houses and subsequently built on that experience to create a service that truly supports writers and editors.
Not surprisingly, self-publishing (also known as print-on-demand or POD) has become one of the hottest trends and fastest-growing segments of the publishing industry. According to Publishers Weekly, “POD titles have contributed to a 28% increase in the number of books published between 2000 and 2004 (from 140,000 to 180,000 titles).” Still, publishing one’s own work can be a daunting proposition,with thousands of dollars required to print and store a minimum number of books (usually a thousand or more). When Gross learned about Instabook, a patented print-on-demand publishing system invented by Florida printer/author Victor Celorio, she knew she had the solution. With Incubation Press, writers can see their book in print for just a few hundred dollars.
