Self-publishing book genres

At the heart of every autobiography/biography there is something to inspire us. Biographies are stories about how someone took up the challenge of life, and a chance to learn something about ourselves.

Biography is a very popular form of writing. Biographies provide a first-hand glimpse into a person, a time in history, and the changes that one person can make in the world. A lot of research and time can go into a thoughtful and illuminating biography. Lightning Press will make sure the printing of your final draft reflects all that hard work and attention that has gone into your biographical project.

Lightning Press has a wide range of paper stock and bindery available to give your biographical work a professional and sophisticated appearance. Hardcover or soft cover designs are available and our print-on-demand services are designed to fit every budget.

The world of business is always looking for ways to keep ahead of information. Year after year, it’s important to keep track of changes in finances, holdings, clients and growth opportunities. Lightning Press has worked with big and small businesses across the U.S.A., serving their printing needs and keeping them one step ahead of the challenges they face.

Coffee table books combine imagery, ideas and inspiration. A good coffee table book can create the most imaginative of conversations and enliven any sitting room with surprise and entertainment.

Instead of allowing the eye to view a whole image in one glance, coffee table books tend to have large printed photos or pictures. The eye has a chance to roam around an image and discover more subtle aspects and insights.

The printing of large format and hard cover coffee table books needs special attention and experience. Our dedicated team at Lightning Press has printed coffee table books for self-publishers and corporate publishing firms.

Due to the visual nature of coffee table books, we take the utmost care with the color and layout in the initial proofing stages. We won’t go ahead with a project until every page of your proof has your approval.

We can customize an estimate for you that will match your needs for coffee table book printing. Contact us today and we’ll get down to work for you!

Photosynthesis is the primary economy of the world.
~ Jeremy Rifkin

The environment is at the forefront of many public discussions today in politics, economics, and science. There is much we still don’t know, but it is important to share the information available to us right now.

The EPA has reported more than 80% of electronic devices are not recycled. Electronic media uses energy every time a device is turned on.

With a printed book, the energy used to make it is spent only once. Once a book is in a reader’s hands, the information is readily accessible without having to push another button.

Lightning Press has blended modern digital technology with traditional forms of book printing in order to find a low-footprint method of producing printed books.

If you have a book on the environment and would like to share your insights with the world, give Lightning Press a call at 973-890-4422. We’d be happy to give you a no-obligation quote. Or, you can also fill out our estimation form on our website.

If we can find an understanding of the environment, and find a way forward that is sustainable, we’ll be able to enjoy not only the first economy, but every economy that follows it!

Philosophy begins in wonder. ~ Plato

The love of wisdom continues today with more and more people adding their insights to the discourse of philosophy. What insights would you like to share with the world? Do you have a book on philosophy ready for print?

The study of aesthetics, the existence of a higher being, the consequences of knowledge, the puzzle of morality, or the nature of information – these topics all deeply affect how we live our lives.

Lightning Press has been proud to work closely with American thinkers and philosophers in the printing of textbooks, convention journals, topic collections, new publications, and student theses.
