Gaby Press was established in the fall of 2008 in response to evolving changes in the publishing industry that have made it extremely difficult for new authors (especially first time fiction writers) to become published. Our goal is to facilitate the publication of works by exceptional authors whose work might easily be overlooked by conventional publishing houses--and that would be a shame.  Our focus is on works that inform as well as entertain, particularly stories that promote cross-cultural understanding and celebrate nature's diversity.

The press is filled daily with stories about mergers, acquisitions, layoffs, and freezes in the world of publishing. It is our opinion that the traditional publishing model is broken (see link below to NY Times article on major publisher suspending acquisitions). 

Gaby Press has joined the ranks of independent publishers in North America to try in our small way to do something to address this problem, by bringing some important works to print using new strategies such as combining small print runs with supplemental on-demand printing and internet marketing to achieve cost efficiencies. We are part of a new trend. In 2008, new titles released through on-demand printing exceeded the number of new titles released by traditional publishing houses for the first time.
