Graphicly debuts new self-publishing service for multiple platforms

Graphicly is expanding its digital distribution solution for automated self-publishing. The new set-up
enables authors and publishers to upload, publish, sell and promote content of all types and sizes.
It will be supported across platforms: the web, Facebook, iOS (through Apple Newsstand) and Android (Barnes and Noble’s Nook Color and Amazon’s Kindle Fire). The publishers don’t need to repeatedly upload it to different sources, but rather the creator just picks the platform destinations through a customizable widget.
