Asklepiad Publishing Company
medical nonfiction book publisher publishes nonfiction books dealing with medical or healthcare themes

The publishing world has changed radically with the development of new technology in recent years. There is a plethora of books on small publishing and self-publishing. Many provide the essentials of how to apply for a copyright, how to register the book manuscript with the Library of Congress, and a list of book printers, designers and editors. Print-on-Demand technology allows a would-be author to print small quantities at manageable cost.

This small company was formed to publish non-fiction with a medical or health care theme. Medical schools are emphasizing creative writing. Some of this is intended to remedy obvious deficiencies in the literary skills of doctors; deficiencies that may even risk harm to their patients.
