The AALBC.com receives an average of 250,000 – 300,000 unique visitors per month. The new direct to consumer program will start in early November.

Good to hear. More and more writers will be taking the self-publishing route. After all, even if non-famous authors get a deal with a large publishing house, they must do their own marketing anyway. This announcement is a great business opportunity for AALBC.
