American Media, Inc.

David J. Pecker is the CEO of American Media, Inc..

American Media is the leading publisher of weekly tabloid newspapers in the United States. Publications include the National Enquirer and the Star, which are distributed mainly in supermarkets and focus on gossip and sensational personal stories rather than conventional news coverage.

The National Enquirer evolved from a former New York City tabloid newspaper, the New York Enquirer. The long, strange history of the National Enquirer includes reputed involvement of the mafia and mob money.

As a result of actual and threatened libel suits by celebrities, the Enquirer has taken greater care in checking and verifying the details of the celebrity exposes it publishes. American Media president David Pecker has said that "in the tabloid business, you pay for sources. But we have two former FBI agents on staff, and no source gets a check for $10,000, or even $1, without getting polygraphed. We also get three independent sources for all of our (National Enquirer and Star) stories. The New York Times runs one-source stories."

American Media also publishes a range of "mini-mags" on topics which include food, health and relationships.

Publishing industry veteran David Pecker and Evercore Partners bought American Media in 1999 for $850 million. In 2003 American Media bought health and fitness magazine publisher Weider Publications for $350 million.

Dear Sir; I have searched your site to try to determine how to submit a book to Mini Mag or Micro Mag publication. I have not been able to find the correct area for this information. Please advise me as to the procedure for submitting a book for publication. Are there specific subjects that you are interested in publishing? Would you require a letter of inquiry and a sample or would I simply submit the entire manuscript? What is your payment policy? What is the remuneration for a book and what is the time frame for payment? Thank you very much for your consideration and help. Sincerely, Gary Annis Telephone 209-962-0413 Cell 702-340-5596 Mailing Address P. O. Box 285 Groveland, CA. 95321
