eBooks

Collca largely concentrates on publishing bitesize ebooks of around 15,000-25,000 words currently in three series with further series to follow in due course. However, we do also publish a number of titles which are significantly longer than this – the current ones of these are flagged with a red asterisk (*) below. Most of our ebooks are illustrated.

• BiteSize Biography – there are currently two titles in this exciting new series: William Shakespeare: A Playwright for All Time and Charles Dickens: From Rags to Riches. A further six titles are in preparation and will be published shortly.
• BiteSize Travel – at present there is only one title in this series of guides and travelogues: Masks of the Moryons – Easter Week in Mogpog. Another three are currently being prepared and two of these will be published very shortly.
• In the Footsteps of.... – have you ever wondered where your favourite film or TV series was made? Have you ever wondered where your favourite author lived, worked and got their inspiration from? This series provides useful information on places to visit, the author, books, films and tv programmes.
• Other eBook Titles – Collca currently publishes three other titles that fall outside these series: 100 Brief Encounters: When Geronimo met General Miles and Other Strange Meetings*, Hypnotherapy for Health and My Enemy, My Friend*. A further dozen or so are in preparation.

Apps

As far as apps are concerned, Collca concentrates mainly on book-derived and other educational and reference titles. All our current titles are also published as ebooks by their originators and in some cases also as audio books. All the current apps are available in the Apple iTunes App Store. All but one of these are in one of two series:

• History In An Hour – Collca publishes 12 iOS apps based on the popular History In An Hour series under an arrangement with HarperCollins.
• The Irish Story – Collca publishes five iOS apps based on the Irish history series The Irish Story under an agreement with Green Lamp Media.
• Other App Titles – Collca currently publishes one iOS app outside the two historical series: Writing to Get Published: Bringing the Dream Alive.
