About
Reynolds University Press
Reynolds
University Press is the child of HALO Press, Andrea
Reynolds' first publishing company, which launched in
1981. Its first publication
was The 1982 Directory of
Professional Image Consultants in Canada.
It was
crowd-funded by the very people who are listed in the
directory.
Reynolds University Press is in the early stages of
development so we still need to re-work
our pricing, design
new book covers, assign
ISBN numbers, create
more editions (Kindle, Nook, Apple
iBook, etc.) and complete
some half-finished publications.
Reynolds University Press has a hidden agenda.
Many of our
publications are written for
people who don't like to read or don't read well.
We want to see
nonreaders buy books and so they can get the information
they need, quickly, and without difficulty. Paragraphs are
short. Ideas are conveyed in "bullets," often in 1 to 3
sentences. Typeface is larger or enlargeable. "White space"
makes for easier reading… or writing notes in the
margins.
Reynolds
University Press offers small advances, but royalties are
higher than most traditional publishers.
We have always
believed that authors – who do the most work on the book –
should not be the ones who receive the smallest amount of
compensation. Traditional publishing has always paid in
inverse proportion to the amount of effort invested
(distributors, retailers, etc.) So we intend to publish in
ways that allow authors to better benefit monetarily.
Reynolds
University Press goes the extra mile for authors.
For example,
if an author doesn't yet have a web site, we can usually
design an effective, but affordable site, and have it
uploaded within a few days. It's in everyone's best
interests for us to do that.
Reynolds
University Press loves receiving kind remarks from our
readers. Tell us what you thought
of the books you purchased so we may share your words with
new readers. Use the Feedback form
Reynolds
University Press battles piracy and offers
rewards to anyone who discovers
that our authors' published works are being pirated.
Tell us where you've seen our works sold without our
permission (especially ebooks) and we will investigate.
If you purchase such a publication, send it to us and if
it is our work we will cover your cost and give you an
additional monetary reward as well.

error found in our books which
are newly published in 2022 and after, but not earlier
works. This will apply to the first time the error is found
and we will post the error and finder of the error on our
website.

authors.

University Press works faster than traditional
publishers.
Reynolds
University Press is a contrarian publisher
and looks for
nontraditional markets for its books.
Some of
Reynolds University Press' prices are higher
because our
publications are geared to smaller, niche markets rather
than the mass market.

University Press' formats vary according to
practicality: Mini-books, booklets,
trade paperback, PDF, Kindle ebook, Nook ebook, etc.
