6.    Q: Why did you choose Writers Club Press?

A:  Writers Club Press is an imprint of iUniverse, the leading "Print On Demand" publisher in the world.  iUniverse is able to publish a book in 18 days from receipt of manuscript and it was available to order from Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, Borders.com, and bookstores in less than 60 days from manuscript receipt.  This compares to a delay of at least 6 months and often more than 1 year with traditional publishers.  With a book such as "The Slingshot Syndrome", timeliness of the message is critical , thus the book could not wait for a year or more while moving slowly through a traditional publishing operation.   "Print On Demand is a revolutionary change to the publishing industry made possible by a technological disruption - high speed, large capacity laser printers that can turn out high quality bound books when ordered.  So it is illustrative of exactly the type of disruptive technological change revolutionizing an industry structure that is the subject of the book.  To you, the reader, it means you get the benefit of a book that is much more up-to-date than if it came from a traditional publisher.  In addition, with  "Print On Demand,"  it is much easier to create new editions to keep the book current, which I intend to do as the information technology industry continues to change.
