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.

“Whether you have that children’s book, memoir, family history, a collection of poems or recipes you’ve always wanted to publish, that manuscript you’ve been keeping in a desk drawer or the one you’re currently slaving over, Incubation Press offers affordability, convenience, speed, and personalized attention,” says Gross. “Then you can go on to market your book to the public,sell it to larger publishing houses, distribute it to clients or shareholders—the list goes on.”
