   Self-publishing can be as exhilarating as finishing the climb. Like you, I am a writer and know the frustration involved in "getting published." With the help of my younger brother, a south Georgia lawyer, I dealt with that frustration in 1992 by forming the Old Mountain Press, Inc. We are now registered in North Carolina as Old Mountain Press & Software. As a registered press, we own a block of ISBN numbers and can provide you with one for $100.00 or we can advise you on how to set up your own press and purchase your own block of ISBNs. We have several books in print and more forthcoming. 
   Old Mountain Press (OMP) has assisted hundreds of writers self-publish their work. We assist first time authors as well as seasoned writers with several books to their credit. We have had authors as young as 16 and as old as 85.  Writers must provide their work error free on diskette or as an attached file via e-mail. We prefer files to be in an IBM compatible format using a program like WordPerfect, MS Word, etc.. If submitting a file created with a Mac, please save it in Rich Text Format (.rtf). 
      Please note that Old Mountain Press is not a vanity press. We do not profess to market the writer's work, but we can advertise the writer's work through our books in print. and we will build a web page for your book at no cost and post it in our Books in Print section with your ordering information placed on your book's web page. Our printer can print as few as 25 books of  high quality perfect-bound books. However the fewer books you print the higher the cost per book. We recommend that you have printed no fewer than 100 books per print run. 
   You can get an estimate from us by filling out this electronic mailto form or compute the estimate yourself by viewing our FAQ on cost.
   Our printer has a wide variety of full-color cover designs. Many of them are at no charge. See our FAQ page or click here to go directly our cover selections. 

Once we have formatted your book for a print version, we can produce the text for Kindle in epub format for you for $75.00 regardless of the number of pages in your hard copy. You can then set up a Kindle account and upload the epub file and sell your book thought Kindle. Photos included for a cost of $4.00 each. For an estimate on your perfect bound book please contact us.  
   There are good reasons to self-publish, and there are bad reasons to self-publish. If you need the money for necessary things like food, shelter, clothing, or your education, we recommend that you do not self-publish. Consider self-publishing carefully, and if you are interested in self-publishing through Old Mountain Press, please contact us.
