A new electronic publishing company has been announced by Time Warner Trade Publishing Group (TWTPG) called iPublish.com.

The iPublish.com online publishing initiative will publish new and established writers in various e-book formats as well as traditional print through enlisting the help of web community readers and writers coupled with TWTPG's editorial experience.

The initiative, which includes partners such as Microsoft, AOL, b&n.com, Amazon.com, netLibrary, Ingram and Fatbrain.com will be available and fully operational in early 2001, though TWTPG will make its front- and backlist titles available in every e-book format by the end of 2000 according to Publishers Weekly.

The site will feature three sections called iRead, which will make available published e-titles for sale; iWrite, which will allow writers to submit and showcase their works for comment, and iLearn, a forum designed for published authors and iPublish.com editors to offer information and their writing and publishing experience to visitors to the section.
