We Will Sell Your Books, Audio Books and eBooks
Our promise to authors and readers is to maintain the highest standards of writing, editing, production and marketing/sales. Our partnerships with major industry distributor marketing companies has traditionally shown significant sales many years into the future for titles that are accepted into their programs. Currently they are accepting about 75% of our titles. NOTE that for the titles they do not accept we cannot and do not guarantee the same future sales. Here is a comment from one of our long-term authors:
"After your excellent Kindle promotion, which started the end of January and was very successful, I watched the book shoot all the way up the Amazon Sales Rank to a high of 454, It also placed #1 in three categories, so thanks for a great job on that.The reviews went from around 180 to now about 280" - Robert Davidson

Our Founders
WildBlue Press was formed out of the conversations between Steve Jackson (a journeyman journalist and four-time New York Times bestselling author of true crime, crime fiction, thriller and history)
Steve Jackson - True Crime Author
and Michael Cordova (a technology and online marketing specialist, founder and President of 21st Century Technologies, Inc., past CTO of Well.org and past CTO and founding partner at Mercury Leads). They were a couple of college buddies who recognized that the publishing world was changing--traditional publishers were making it tough on "working class" authors (those not named King or Rowling) and rising above the "white noise" of the self-publishing world was an immense obstacle for authors suddenly expected to "do it all" themselves in addition to writing.
Michael Cordova - Technologist
WildBlue Press is our answer to the challenges of 21st century publishing. We are an A-Z indie publishing company formed by a consortium of bestselling and award-winning authors with "rising stars" providing widely acclaimed stories as well. Instead of waiting on the whims of traditional publishing companies, our authors decide what they want to publish and when; then we take it from there. We offer the very best in original and previously published, "classic," works of fiction and non-fiction. Many of our WildBlue Press Classics are in eBook format for the first time, and most have been updated with new material and author commentary. The result is that our readers can be assured of the literary excellence they seek when spending their hard-earned money.

Film and Foreign Rights
We retain a subsidiary (film and foreign) rights agent that shops every relevant title of ours to movie, television and foreign language companies that would be interested in your book. We're proud to have several of our titles contracted for movie, television and foreign language distribution. See Sly Stallone reading Hunter from James Byron Huggins' HUNTER, which he has the rights to and is now in production for the movie.
