PENDIUM was formed with a passion to transform the self-publishing industry for the better. We pride ourselves on not being a huge company with a focus on the quantity of authors we can publish, but on the quality of work we can produce. Because of this, we believe that you get a better product and better service as a result. After hearing stories of authors frustrated with the self-publishing process, it was time to create not only a company but a better choice. Enthusiastic and energetic, PENDIUM brings literary dreams to fruition by committing itself to working on each book just as if it were in the hands of a traditional publisher.

You'll discover that this is the main reason PENDIUM insist on screening submissions, in order to insure it's not publishing less than quality material. As a result, submissions are sometimes turned down. But a publisher who has criteria in what they produce speaks volumes about who they are and who you, as a potential PENDIUM author, are affiliated with. You're embarking on the journey of being a published author, which is serious business. You wouldn't want anything less for your book.

Separating PENDIUM from its competitors, most who will publish anything as long as you pay them; our focus will forever remain on honesty, affordability, and a quality product. PENDIUM is not a company that will charge you high, extraneous fees to bring your book to market. Never will anyone try to upsell you on anything such as marketing services or on things beyond what you've decided you need. PENDIUM has no sales people. So there are never any sales pitches - ever.

And because you succeeding as an author is priority, joining PENDIUM earns you a 100% royalty on all sales generated at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and other online venues. This means you don't share your royalties with PENDIUM beyond those book orders placed directly at our website. Why do we do this? Because with self-publishing, marketing your book relies heavily on you, the author. As a result, we believe you should reap the monetary rewards from your hard work. There's no catch, no hidden cost - just fair self-publishing.
