Outskirts Press

Outskirts Press is a Denver, Colorado-based book publisher which caters to self-publishing authors.

The company is based in Parker, Colorado, and offers print on demand self-publishing services, wholesale digital distribution to Ingram Content Group and Baker & Taylor, and online-order fulfillment.

Around 150 contractors (as of July 2007) throughout the United States are used to assist authors with production issues such as editing, formatting, illustrations and cover design.^[1] The company also provides other production and marketing services, such as preparing illustrations for children’s books, viral video distribution of book videos on social networking sites, and the services of a Personal Marketing Assistant.

In 2004, Outskirts Press and F&W Media reached a sponsorship agreement whereby Outskirts Press would publish the annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition Collection.^[2]

The company was founded by an author, Brent Sampson, as a result of his frustration in trying to get his own work published, and incorporated in 2003.^[1] Between 2004 and 2007 revenue rose rapidly, from $95,000^[1] to $3.2 million^[3] and in 2007 the Denver Business Journal recognised it as the third fastest-growing privately held company in the state.^[3]

In 2009, Outskirts Press was recognized by Inc. 500 (which is charged with delivering "advice, tools, and services, to help business owners and CEOs start, run, and grow their businesses more successfully.")^[4] as the fastest-growing self publishing company.^[5]
