Publish Global, the StreetLib-TNPS B2B newsletter for self-publishers, is hitting subscriber inboxes this weekend.

Capturing the excitement and opportunities in global publishing.

The first issue of the new B2B newsletter for self-publishers, Publish Global — serious about self-publishing, has been arriving in subscriber inboxes, and while some of the contents will be familiar to avid The New Publishing Standard regulars, there’s an indie author slant and a focus on opportunities for self-publishing authors willing to step outside the US-UK Amazon-centric indieverse.

The point of Publish Global is to capture the excitement and opportunities in the wider publishing world, while offering collated news and insights into the mainstream self-publishing arena.

For anyone thinking this will be just a promotional tool for StreetLib services, the newsletter opens with two items on the US-based aggregator Draft2Digital, and while there are also two StreetLib news items tucked away, that’s simply because StreetLib, which is also the publisher of TNPS, had a number of press releases out during the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Here’s how the debut issue of Publish Global pans out:
