Hay House Publishing Partners with Author Solutions, Inc., to Launch Self-Publishing Division, Balboa Press

Carlsbad, Calif. (PRWEB) May 14, 2010 -- Hay House Publishing (www.hayhouse.com), a leading provider in publishing products that are self-empowering, announced Friday it is partnering with the world's leading self-publishing (http://www.authorsolutions.com/authorservices.aspx) company, Author Solutions (www.authorsolutions.com), Inc., to launch Balboa Press (www.balboapress.com) -- a self-help self-publishing division. The alliance will allow authors to benefit from the leadership of Hay House, while taking advantage of Author Solutions' technology and services that make publishing easy, affordable, and available to anyone.

"We receive thousands of manuscripts annually, but we can publish only 100 products a year," said Reid Tracy, CEO of Hay House. "Our self-publishing division, Balboa Press, has been formed to allow many more people get their message out. While these books won't be published by Hay House, Balboa Press will be monitored for success, and hopefully we'll find the Hay House authors of the future," Tracy added. "This is the legacy of Louise Hay--25 years later--she wants to help the next generation find their voice."

Through this strategic partnership, Author Solutions will manage Balboa Press on behalf of Hay House, taking responsibility for selling and delivering a comprehensive array of publishing, marketing, and book-selling services, designed specifically for Balboa Press authors.

Kevin Weiss (http://www.authorsolutions.com/about.aspx?id=174), Author Solutions president and chief executive officer, is pleased that Hay House is joining ASI in this alliance to expand opportunities for authors and choices for readers.

"Starting with its visionary founder, Louise Hay, Hay House has a rich track record of innovation and leadership in the self-help and new thought publishing space. We are pleased to be able to help them expand positive publishing opportunities to more and more authors who want to share their messages of hope and self improvement," said Weiss.
