Entrepreneur Sells Books via Cellphone
A Birmingham entrepreneur’s plan to make books available via mobile phone was selected as the top business idea introduced in the second installment of Birmingham Startup.
Travis Bryant’s vision to provide small and medium-sized publishers with an alternate avenue for distribution beat four other entrepreneurs who competed over two weekends to launch their own business. His company is called GalleyPro. Bryant, who works for Birmingham’s Menasha Ridge Press, said making novels available digitally was inspired by seeing publishers holding onto manuscripts with no quick way to distribute them.
“I’ve been looking for a print-to-digital option,” Bryant said. “This will be the first solution. Birmingham Startup helped me craft a business-to-business mindset. We’re sitting on the content. We can respect the authors and publishers and get it out there.”
