Eric Simmons is the CEO of ESE, Inc., a website development firm specializing in creating sites for compensation eligible College Athletes, High School Athletes, Authors, Poets, and others who seek to present their “Personal Brand” on the Internet. A former college athlete, he enjoys sports and public speaking. He self-publishes under his full name, Eric Otis Simmons, and recently branded his written works as ESETOMES (Eric Simmons Enterprises, Inc. plus the word Tomes, for books in a work of several volumes).
To date, he’s written, and self published four books. His Memoir, “Not Far From The Tree,” has been a multi-time Amazon “Best Seller,” as has his second book, “#HTSP - How to Self-Publish,” which is based on the steps he undertook to write, market, and distribute His Memoir. Eric’s third book, “Getting Your Book Into Libraries,” is based on his well-received article, “How To Get Your Book Into Libraries,” which became the top Google search result, out of over 2 billion, on the subject of, “getting your book into libraries.” The work is believed to be the first book written on the topic of how self-published Authors can go about getting their books into libraries. His latest book, “Self Publisher’s Toolkit,” is a two-in-one resource that shows you how to self publish a book and then market it to Libraries, a viable $30+ billion segment often overlooked by self publishers. “ESETOMES Box Set” is a digital compilation of his Memoir and #HTSP, as he refers to the book.
In 2018, Eric began introducing his books to Librarians, and in just over two years, 98 Academic and Public Libraries, including 7 of the Nation’s largest, ordered 126 copies of his books. His customers include the New York Public Library’s prestigious research arm, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and The Royal Library Denmark, which is based in Copenhagen and is the country’s National Library.
