Welcome! This website has been serving authors and publishers since 1998 and is quite extensive. Be sure to add it to your favorites and check back for updated samples and free articles on publishing.

Unsure how to get the word out about your book?
ORDER: "My Book Is Published, Now What?" (15 pages. $12 US)
It's new (just out August 6, 2008) and contains the information you need, with links to exact websites, that will help you promote yourself and your book. Learn the two most important attributes of a successful writer; learn how to increase books sales with or without having your book in as many bookstores as you might like; learn how today's technology has leveled the playing field for authors and small publishers. This information is from my heart and my experience and if you take these steps you'll be well on your way.

Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo and Host of TV's "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild" recommends Janice's new book!

Open Your Heart with Pets: Mastering Life through Love of Animals. Published by DreamTime Publishing

"I've always thought you can learn a lot from our animal friends—Janice Phelps seems to agree! In her new book, Open your Hearts with Pets, she describes what life should really be like with your 'pet'.  If they are given the respect they deserve as living beings that share their world with us, then the person-pet experience should be good as gold!  Pick up Open Your Hearts with Pets and discover a whole new relationship with your animal friend!" —Jack Hanna
