Joshua Tree Publishing
Founded in 1977 in Illinois as The Owl Network,
Inc., Joshua Tree Publishing has been in the media and publishing
filed for 22 years. With the first edition of the Nevada Media Directory
in 1985, Publisher John Paul Owles embarked on a career providing
updated, comprehensive media information in the state of Nevada.
As technology became innovation in the book
publishing field, Joshua Tree Publishing in 1999 started to help authors
publish their books. Today the company has 25 titles in print and has
helped countless others start their own publishing companies.
In 1999, the company began offering its Nevada
Media Directory as a searchable database over the Internet for
subscribers. With nearly 1,600 media contacts online, the online version
of the directory keeps subscribers up-to-date with the ever changing
Nevada media.
In 2002, the company began providing website
design, development, and hosting services to clients. Offering major
hosting platforms including team collaboration sites, Joshua Tree
Publishing's Owl Network offers a one stop solution for companies. In
2003, the company became a domain registration company so that clients
could keep control of the domain registration all in one place.
In 2004, Joshua Tree Publishing return to its root
with the opening of a corporate headquarters in the northwest Chicago
suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois. Down the street from Motorola and
surrounded by Fortune 500 companies, Joshua Tree Publishing has been
able to offer authors and clients true national coverage for the books
and services.

If
you ever wanted to write a book, you know that getting published the
first time is very difficult. Today's publishing industry does not want
to "gamble" on "unknown" authors. That is why Joshua Tree Publishing
started a new imprint called Centaur Books where we specialize in
partnering with authors to publish their books. We specialize in authors
getting published by combining our resources in an unique formula which
allows the author to tap into our resources and 21 years of experience.
While you may wonder why we would take on such a task, the answer is
really simple.
Centaur Books has the expertise and experience for publishing books. We
offer authors access to our experts—while our authors concentrate on
writing books. Publishing a book is a process. We guide our authors
through that process...from the initial preparation of their manuscript,
editing the book, designing the cover, formatting the text and cover for
the printer, printing the galley proof, and printing the finished book.
We remain committed to our authors and their success. Because if they
aren't successful, we aren't. And that is what partnership is all about.
But we do not stop there. We help the authors with promoting their
books. We give our authors access to media lists which specialize in
book promotion. We help out authors by providing information on book
stores, direct mail outlets, and alternative sources where they can
market their books. We offer training seminars throughout the year which
focus on writing, editing, and marketing books. To learn more, go to
