Distribution and our Affiliations

TJMF Publishing is pleased to announce our associations with Baker & Taylor, Google Books and Amazon.com. We're serious about creating new and exciting opportunities and with that new and exciting changes to TJMF Publishing and this site.  

This development will allow TJMF authors to be part of the world of bookstores across the country.  Essentially, TJMF books will be available for purchase by bookstores from all chains.  We also have our own buyer's representative at Baker and Taylor.  Now you will be able to purchase or order TJMF Publishing's titles at Barnes & Noble and other popular stores plus major internet suppliers like Amazon.com.  On Google Book Search you'll be able to preview books by our participating authors.

For anyone who has published a book through TJMF, it is easy to become part of this new promotional method.  Simply notify us of your interest.  A one-time fee of $50.00 will be required to cover the time involved.  You have to be or have been published by TJMF as our relationship with Baker and Taylor is as a publisher.  TJMF will do all the paperwork on your behalf and will provide B&T with all your book and personal information along with your scheduled appearances (a must) and readings.  This fee also includes submitting your full book and cover to Google for their book preview, and Amazon.com for worldwide sales.  We will also maintain a page here on the site with all that same information.   

PLUS  

If you are a beginning author who would like to see your writing in print, our new changes will make TJMF Publishing a great choice for you.  If you're serious about publishing a book, this is the place to be. Our goal is to help deserving authors get published.  We will be offering two programs to do that - "traditional" and "cooperative" publishing.  Yes, that's right, we said "traditional" publishing. 

Enthusiasm is high, as this represents a major shift in direction for TJMF Publishing.  The opportunity for nationwide distribution is a great one.  It also opens doors for book signings and appearances at chain bookstores.  Quite frankly, we started with Baker and Taylor in 2004 but we were not ready. During recent meetings with their staff we realized how inexperienced we were.  Now, Baker and Taylor is prepared to offer a world of services for us to take advantage of and we're ready to go.  

In the days to come, the TJMF website will undergo some changes in keeping with this new growth and direction.  The face and site content will change to fit our new goals, including author pages with bio's, book information, buy buttons and scheduled appearances and readings - new bookstore with updated information, links to buy buttons and important information for each published author - a new forum with all the help you need to create a book, work your project and get published, and continued articles by our Staff Editor - Patty Zion, and references to all the right sites where you can get what you need. We will have available editing services, cover design and formatting services and book layout assistance all for extremely reasonable fees.

Exciting days ahead - don't miss it.
