Publishing Company Demibooks Announces Funding From Educational Development Corporation
October 19, 2011
Demibooks, a Chicago-based publishing technologies company, announced yesterday it has secured equity investment from Educational Development Corporation (EDC), a publicly traded company. EDC sells children’s books, including Usborn Books and the Kane/Miller line of international children’s titles, through a multi-level sales organization of independent consultants.
Demibooks provides a publishing platform for interactive books. They recently launched Composer, which is the first affordable, code-free way for publishers and self-published authors and illustrators to create interactive books for the iPad.
Rafiq Ahmed, CEO of Demibooks says,
We are thrilled to receive this investment from EDC. Their deep experience in publishing and distribution gives us a valuable strategic partner.
Composer is available as a free download for a limited time from the App Store.
