Penroads vs Publishing Assist

Penroads is a social platform which helps travellers and backpackers find travel partners at their destinations.

Penroads is a social travel platform that connects both travelers and locals by destination and travel dates. It is the first platform that gives people direct user-to-user chat in real-time, allowing them to meet with international travelers to share tips and plan activities.
Social travel is a dichotomy. Travelers not only want to meet each other, they seek a knowledge base for planning their trips. Penroads allows users to engage each other as a social network, and participate and share in discussions. I'd liken it to 'Quora' for travel.

Authors can now be independent without having to be alone

Authors are usually faced with two options, and neither is very good. On the one hand, there are platforms that let you quickly distribute your book but do nothing to help your book be publishing-ready or to stand out from the crowd.

On the other hand, there are self-publishing services that sell exorbitant package deals, with vague promises of what they are delivering and mystery surrounding their high costs.

For an author new to publishing, it can be confusing concerning what's needed and what's not. As an experienced publisher, we provide a suite of services that give authors exactly what they need and nothing that they do not.

Publishing Assist was created to give you the ability to be independent without truly having to go it alone. Now you can buy competitively priced publishing services for your books as you want them, à la carte.
