About Pearn and Associates, Incorporated
Pearn and Associates was established in Boulder, Colorado in 2005 as a virtual literary publishing company. We publish books in traditional paperback and cloth cover editions. We have contracts with the top four companies in the book industry: Amazon Books, Baker and Taylor, Barnes and Noble, and Ingram Books (our main printer). They are capable of printin
g an unlimited number of books and can provide authors with any sized first print run. We do not charge a fee for reading or publishing manuscripts. We have released 61 titles. When we release a title for printing, it is sent out to all of the companies we are under contract with. (Our books on the global market are printed in the countries where they are ordered.) After the costs for printing and selling the title are covered, the remnant of profit goes to Pearn & Associates as compensation. From that remnant, a percentage goes to the authors as a royalty, typically distributed four months after a book sells. Three of our authors have won major writing awards: Poet, John Knoepfle; Poet and Prose Writer, Anita Sullivan; and Sports Journalist, Ryan Thorburn. Our author, Nilla Cram Cook, wrote a best-seller in the 1930s, and completed another unpublished manuscript in 1945 in Persia. When that manuscript came to us from her granddaughter, we published Nilla Cram Cook’s novel The Bridge of Isfahan posthumously.
