Tate Publishing and Authors – The Perfect Match

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Good afternoon, I am sitting in my office and just got off the phone with our Director of Production, Dave Dolphin about a new piece of printing equipment we just bought.  We recently purchased a new color printing device to add to our production facility that is state of the art and a large investment during these economic times, but is the best investment we could make to ensure quality for our authors.  As I was getting off the phone Dave stated, “This acquisition puts the author first and delivers quality product that is second to none!”  In one statement Dave made apparent what I try to preach to our staff every chance I get.  Serve the author!

Our company was founded on the principles of serving authors and creating a publishing company that delivers products, services, distribution and marketing that no one else in the industry can or would.  We make huge investments and take huge risks in our authors every day, and they pay off everyday too.  The incredible success stories have changed the publishing industry and has put Tate Publishing at the top of the list in sales, services and products offered in the industry.  Our investment into the author has created a publishing house that leads in nearly every major category of concern in the industry.  For those of you that follow my blog you now know that Tate Publishing has reached the top ten for sales volume through retails stores and we offer more marketing, distribution and services to our authors than any other publisher.  
We knew early on that investing in the writers of the world and searching for the “diamond in the roughs” was risky, but the writers of the world have proven that talent properly marketed and produced can change the industry and deliver success for both the publisher and author.  At Tate Publishing we value the relationship we have with our authors and truly view it as a partnership.  It is this very belief that has made it possible for us to not only love our jobs, but believe in the talents of our authors.  I can honestly say as an author and publisher, that Tate Publishing was created to be the author’s best friend and we have lived up to that everyday. 
Our staff searches daily for new ways to support, promote and provide quality to our authors.  It is our passion and something I thank God everyday to have the opportunity to achieve.  It truly is an exciting time, please if you have any questions don’t hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
Ryan Tate

Good afternoon, it is a beautiful day at our offices this morning and I just left one of our printing facilities and couldn’t wait to write about some exciting things taking place at Tate Publishing.  

This morning I received a call from our Director of Marketing, Mark Mingle.  Mark is currently in New York City and was meeting with our buyer in the Large Press Division at Barnes& Noble.  At the meeting the buyer was not only very interested and picking up the titles being presented for distribution, but she was very interested in one of the features that accompany most Tate Publishing titles.  The feature is what we refer to as eLive!  eLive is basically a total digital package that comes with a Tate Published title.  
Whenever a customer buys a Tate Published book, if it has an eLive logo on the cover, they have just purchased the complete digital entertainment package.  There is a download code in the back of the book that gives the buyer access to a free download of the e-book and audiobook from any computer.  The value this adds to a book is huge and the investment that Tate Publishing makes in our titles to provide these types of benefits is unparalleled.  Our buyer even mentioned that she had never heard of or seen a publisher every do this and loved it.  
This is one more way that Tate Publishing has always set ourselves apart from the competition.  For those of you who follow my blog you know that Tate Publishing is a company born to provide services, product, and distribution to authors, buyers and distributors that can’t be found or compared to anywhere else.  eLive is a perfect example of the Tate difference.
Perhaps the biggest confirmation of how successful the eLive feature has been comes from my own house.  I have a four year old daughter at home who tests all of our children’s books.  The second daddy brings home a new book, she goes straight to the computer downloads the audio book version and follows along.  If she loves it we have a winner on our hands.
I couldn’t be more proud of what we are accomplishing every day at Tate Publishing and the incredible success our authors and books are experiencing.  We will continue to push ourselves to the next level of service and product offerings everyday, and remember next time you visit your local bookstore to make sure your purchase is a Tate Publishing book with the eLive logo on the cover.  The digital entertainment package is sure to not disappoint.
Have a blessed day and let me know if you have any questions!
God Bless,
Ryan Tate
