Who We Are

EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition^TM, was established in 1998 to provide a strong voice for electronic publishing. Once an authors' organization, EPIC^TM has expanded to include hundreds of professionals from all facets of the electronic publishing industry: authors, publishers, editors, artists, and others. Our members work together in a unique collaboration to further the industry.

EPIC is not a publisher, but aspiring authors are invited to look at our member publishers. See the Industry Member listing for links to the webpages for our member publishers.

What We Do

ePublishing has existed for as long as there has been a digital world, but has exploded in the last decade, and EPIC has grown right along with it. ePublishing is already a major marketplace and the future will only bring greater growth. EPIC exists to help industry professionals network and share information about industry trends, promotion, and the boundless opportunities ePublishing offers. We also offer much of our knowledge base to visitors. Browse through our pages for lots of hints, guidance, and help.

Among our members, you'll find writers and publishers of all the most popular fiction genres, as well as non-fiction, self-help, poetry, and how-to. EPIC does not exist to promote any genre or style of work. Our single organizational focus is promoting ePublishing.

Special Programs

EPIC's members are very proud of our New Voices Young Writers^TM competition. New Voices has become a leading international competition for young authors, promoting reading and writing among middle and high school students while introducing them to the exciting world of eBooks and ePublishing. New Voices is often a launching pad into the world of publishing for many young writers, allowing them their first taste of professional feedback and encouraging them to achieve their dream of seeing their words in print. Established by EPIC in 2006, the competition acceps entries from students attending public, private, or homeschools, worldwide.
