NPL Publishing Consultants

We have a number of clients who are seeking directories, titles that come out monthly, annually or bi-ennially (guides, best of, yearly reviews, etc), and/or reference materials that are updated regularly in editions (first, twelfth, twentieth). With a company of these materials, your sales would be at a small premium to market value. Individual titles will sell for full value (less obsolete inventory, of course).

An online database function would be a bonus, and if not, the raw data permitting the use/lease/sale of the online database information would be a bonus… assume the buyer is capable of making the conversions… you don’t have to. Of course, if your work gives an opportunity to maintain the currency of the database, a buyer will pay a premium for that functionality.

Specific subjects include Non Profits, Grants and Foundation Awards, Travel Guides, Price Guides, Collectibles, Financial Information, Demographics, Legal, Accounting, or other professional updating services, almost anything that is non fiction and provides an aggregate of information on a regular basis, from months to years.

As well, fiy ou have the database and DO NOT have a hard copy publication, but would be interesting in licensing your database for both online and/or hard copy sales, do let us know promptly.

Contact Mr. Foner directly if you have any materials that fit into this category, for an immediate assessment of your situation.

We have a client who has successfully begun the process of ‘rolling up’ a number of individual titles, micro-publishers, and directories in the Non Profit field in both the US and Canada. Materials include Non Profit Management, Volunteer Management & Relations, Fund Raising, Grant Writing, Grant Directories, the Responsibilities of Non Profit Boards, and materials keeping Non Profits from running afould of the law. As a new ‘roll up’, this company is looking to expand through the acquisition of another company, with complementary materials, or through the individual acquisition of lines or titles in these subject areas.

When contacting me, may I suggest you provide the following information in your package: product samples, narrative of the history of the company/titles, sales history of these titles, endorsements or awards they have received, and your financial expectations. Send your package to my New York office to my personal attention via a trackable shipping method.
