Novum Publishing is an Austria-based publisher that has expanded into several countries, including the UK and the USA. It also does business as United P.C. Publisher, and is incorporated in Florida as WSB Publishing Inc..

But publishers make it possible! Nowadays, if you look at who is allowed to publish a book, and above all with what quality, you can ask yourself why a publishers puts its resources into this book? An autobiography of a 30 year old woman who has not made anything in life instead of posting a few photos on Instagram is given the opportunity to publish a book, while many good stories never get a real chance. If this is what publishers like novum publishing want to do and give these people an opportunity, you cannot criticized them for doing this. Basically, they only help people who get under the wheels and only because many publishers no longer care about the quality of books. Teenagers are buying the book from their Instagram celebrity. I find this situation a shame and something needs to be changed. There is an error in the development here.
