'1995 marked a publishing industry revolution. Trafford defied popular belief by introducing “on-demand book publishing services.” This pioneering innovation marked the dawn of the Independent Book Publishing Industry. Fast forward fifteen years, and 2009’s Indie Published books significantly outnumbered works released by traditional publishing houses, accounting for more than 70% of the year’s 1 million plus titles. Trafford, Indie Publishing’s founding father, is proud to have been the spark that ignited a revolution giving voice to hundreds of thousands of authors. These very same authors would have been resigned to silence in the not too distant past.
Trafford’s inspiration stems from a genuine belief in our authors. More than 10,000 writers from over 120 countries have realized their dream of publication with Trafford as their Indie Publishing Partner. Our goal is to provide the ultimate publishing experience producing the definitive book born of a vivid imagination. This authometric motivation means that we are continually evaluating, adapting and developing our services, fuelled by author feedback.' Source: http://www.trafford.com/ (Sighted 13/04/2012)
