Wordclay, the Do-It-Yourself Book Publishing Web Site, Launches General
Availability
Innovative online publishing tool incorporates allows users to make a book in
minutes

    BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Wordclay
(http://www.wordclay.com/), the easiest, fastest and most dynamic DIY
publishing (http://www.wordclay.com/HowItWorks/Default.aspx) Web site,
initiated its general availability launch Tuesday. During its highly
successful beta period, users started nearly 5,000 book projects with the free
publishing (http://www.wordclay.com/FAQ/Default.aspx) tool.
    "Wordclay's book knowledge is 'baked in,' which means users don't need to
be concerned about the details of publishing, such as calculating spine width
and gutter size, and can instead focus on writing a great book and then
marketing it," said Dave McCauley, Wordclay president. "Equipped with a
computer and Internet connection, Wordclay authors can make a book
(http://www.wordclay.com/bookpublishing.aspx) in mere minutes."
    Wordclay makes it simple for writers of all experience levels to self-
publish (http://www.wordclay.com/bookpublishing.aspx) their books. Authors
create a free password-protected online account that lets them control each
step of the publishing process, from uploading the manuscript to designing the
front cover to selecting the price of the book and their royalty. The book
doesn't need to be published in one sitting; the authors' work is saved at
every step.
    "With Wordclay, I am free to have any motive I desire for my decision to
publish," said beta user Gregory Culver. "It could be for International fame;
fortune; hobby; distribute family genealogy; specialty book not appealing to
the masses; subject book for my students; cookbook for a fundraiser; or any
book for my own enjoyment."
    Books created on the Wordclay Web site are printed on-demand, ensuring
authors will not have to pay for the cost to print a single copy before it is
sold.
