ABOUT US
The April 24, 2006 edition of Publisher's Weekly introduced its cover story on the growing market for business books. It quoted a statistic from The International Labor Organization that Americans work more hours than do residents of any other industrialized nation. It went on to say that American obsession with business is driving sales of business books. So, while Americans are working more hours, they are spending their free hours reading about business.
Our huge time investment in work demands we make up for it with fast everything. From McDonalds to McMansions, we're filling our time with cookie cutter approaches, mind candy and escapism. For many, this is an attempt to avoid looking too closely at life. Many people spend so much time trying to experience everything that they don't fully experience anything.
We believe that humans should work, it is in our nature. But Americans have gone beyond the pale, and need to be called back into balanced lives. Xyzzy Press seeks to examine life and the wonderful world that we live in. We should enjoy, not to excess, but in a celebration of life. Xyzzy Press wants to add depth and breadth to the experiences of life.
Xyzzy Press seeks to enrich lives through written words. While Xyzzy Press may publish works of fiction, non-fiction lends itself more to our objectives. In particular, our target audience will be people that are connected and want to continue their education throughout their lives. Our target book segments will be personal development and expressive communication.
