iUniverse Announces Underwriting of Public Radio’s ‘A Way with Words’

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 8 /PRNewswire/ — iUniverse, the leading book marketing,
editorial services, and supported self-publishing company, announced that
effective July 1, it is underwriting the nationally syndicated public radio show
A Way with Words. The sponsorship will help iUniverse reach out to the show’s
growing audience of word aficionados, many of whom aspire to publish a book.

“The A Way with Wordsaudience is a critical demographic for iUniverse. They are
intelligent, well-read, and many have a book in them and are actively seeking a
publisher,” said Kevin Weiss, president and chief executive officer of Author
Solutions, Inc., parent company of iUniverse.

AWay with Words is a lively hour-long public radio show about language, on the
air since 1998. Co-hosts Martha Barnette – who has published two books with
iUniverse – and dictionary editor Grant Barrett take calls about slang, grammar,
old sayings, word origins, regional dialects, family expressions, and speaking
and writing well.

Barnette’s two iUniverse books, both Editor’s Choice titles, have been top
sellers for the self-publisher. “A Garden of Words” takes a witty look at the
name origins of garden plants. “Ladyfingers and Nun’s Tummies” provides the
surprising truths behind the names of many favorite foods.

“I’m delighted to be able to recommend iUniverse personally,” Barnette said.
“When I decided to re-publish my books, I researched my options and chose
iUniverse. The books are beautiful, and the editor assigned to guide me through
the process was helpful and easy to work with. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
