Word Association Publishers www.wordassociation.com We are skilled in manuscript preparation, and we offer services that can help you to self-publish your book quickly and efficiently.

If you have written a book, or if you are writing a book, or if you want to write a book but you need some kind of help, you have come to the right page. You have three options if you want to get your book out into the world:

*You can try to find a commercial trade publisher.
*You can use a vanity press.
*You can self-publish. Each of these options has some attractions, and each of them has some

drawbacks. But if you keep reading, I think you will agree with me that self-publishing is your best bet. Self-publishing will afford you the greatest control along with the best opportunity for selling your book and actually making some money on it. That is why self-publishing is the fastest-growing area of book publishing, and also the most interesting. This is not to say that self-publishing is easy. Far from it. The truth is that although anybody can self-publish, few do it well or successfully. There are pitfalls at every turn, and mistakes will prove costly. You would do well to have a guide. If you decide to self-publish, you have many major decisions to make. Your manuscript will most likely need to be edited and proofread. If you want it to look professional you will need a graphic designer. You will need to find a printer/bindery. If you are planning to promote and market your book, will you know how to do it yourself or will you need to hire someone? What about distribution and book fulfillment? How will you get your books into the stores? These services are our specialties. Some writers-those with the time and the know-how-may be able to do all of it themselves. But most of you will benefit from some help, and I believe that Word Association's expertise in these areas is unmatched by any other company.

Here's an idea we love. When Sam Costanzo recently held his book launch, all the invited guests received a copy his book, Renaissance: the Rebirth and Rise of Duquesne University Football. With each book beautifully wrapped in see-through bags, and decorated with an appropriately-colored bow, we thought authors who want to do something special for their holiday book selling, might want to offer a similar perk!

It was 1969 when a group of college-aged boys gathered in St. Martin’s Hall at Duquesne University to ignite a grassroots effort to return football to the Bluff. Fox Chapel resident Sam Costanzo helped draw up the game plan – and said it was sheer industriousness and passion that led

New WA author, Sam Costanzo, has a unique story to tell. The book, RENAISSANCE: THE REBIRTH AND RISE OF DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL, is more than just local sports history. The book begins in February of 1969, when a group of students met with the intention of reviving intercollegiate football on the Bluff after almost a 2 decade absence. By 1973, they would win a national championship at Three Rivers Stadium.
The book is available from Sam, Word Association Publishers, and is now live on Amazon.

NET PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL HELP TO PROVIDE FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIPS TO DESERVING STUDENT-ATHLETES.

Twelve years ago when Joe Szlanski walked into the Word Association offices with his manuscript, we knew this book was something special. From the beginning, BOARDING THE WESTBOUND received rave reviews, had brisk sales and enthralled audiences of all ages. The story is based upon the notebook his father kept during the Great Depression as he crossed the country, riding the rails and living the life of a hobo.

Joseph Szalanski set off to tour the country in 1932 with 48 cents in his pocket. The 22-year-old from East Vandergrift, who immigrated from Poland to America as an infant, was determined his future wouldn’t be forged in a steel mill. Instead, he traveled as a hobo, hopping freight cars
