We Produce, Promote and Distribute

* New Markets - Centax Books/Publishing Solutions now produces and markets cookbooks, RCMP history books, business and family management books, family lifestyle, gardening and sports books.

* Centax makes it possible for small, independent publishers across Canada to come together and have a collective impact on the Canadian retail book market. Centax provides publishing services - editing, design, sales and marketing. The author has control and owns all of the books.

* Several Centax authors have published second, third and even eighth and ninth titles. Many Centax titles have gone on to several reprints, and most have earned National Best-Seller status (over 10,000 books sold).

* Self-publishing also allows authors to get very involved with their own marketing - with greater financial rewards.
