Founded in Los Angeles in 1984 by Anita and William Dorich, the company was formed to offer an alte

William Dorich brings to GM Books 26 years of printing experience and a background in commercial photography. As the author of 5 books on Balkan history and music, his own venture into self-publishing became the impetus for forming the company. His 2008 book is Defeat Foreclosure to aid homeowners in saving their home. His in 2009 is, The Nursing Home Crisis. His current books is Sleep Seekers: A Reference Guide for Insomniacs and Serbia: Faces & Places.
Anita Dorich, Editor, Research and Project Director for GM Books, received a BSW from San Francisco State University and has had postgraduate training at U.C.

eBooks: The Brave New World of Publishing
Ebooks are easily distributed or downloaded online. One of the best features that have served us well is the fact that an eBook is easily updated. As an example, my 2008 eBook, Defeat Foreclosure has been updated four times in six months as the U.S. House and Senate keep changing the laws regarding foreclosure, mortgages, home ownership and taxes. We duplicate 700 to 800 books at a time so the book is as current as the last duplication of disks.

The Kissing Cure
Great sex does not begin with rotten kisses. Most people don’t usually think about the “proper” way to kiss—when it comes to the tongue tango, most just wing it. However, each of us probably has encountered enough slobbers, peckers, and tonsil-divers to know that there are right ways and wrong ...

String Of Pearls... A Mother's Wisdom

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from William Dorich
"Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life—
not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving—
not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness—
not by our seeming greatness." —William Arthur Ward
Anita and I have been married for 44 years—we attribute the success of our marriage, our personal success, and our friendships both private and business to these powerful words.

How to get started
We bega GM Books in 1985 after I had an unpleasant experience with a major publisher. The company was established as a hand in the dark and a positive experience to receiving dozens of rejection letters. Our first client was Richard Saul Wurman and information author and creator of the TED Conferences. Through his company, Access Press Ltd., we published 48 titles such as Access New York, Access San Francisco, Access Paris, London and Rome.
Major titles include the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games for ARCO; Understanding Money and Markets for the Wall Street Jou al; Investing in the 90's for Fortune Magazine. Each of these titles sold over one million copies.
For the Los Angeles Times we have produced 7 titles including ConArtist, 30 years of Paul Conrad their political cartoonist, 4:31 The Los Angeles Earthquake, 30 Years of Recipe Request by Rose Dosti and Witness to War: Images of the Persian Gulf War which won a Pulitzer. In addition to books like Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting by award winning jou alist Peter Brock, Love is Love...But, Business is Business by Merle Horwitz, The Kissing Cure by Dr. Ruth McConnell and This Bible Talks by Pamela Fischer our firm has published 160 titles in ten years with the who's who in American business. Current book projects include TransAtlantic Man and Global Citizen, a two volume autobiography of Sir Eldon Griffiths who served 3 decades in the British Parliament, was editor of Time and Newsweek and is currently the president of the World Affairs Council of Orange County, Califo ia.
