About the Publisher

Birger Sturgis Loomer announces launch of Dark Matter Norway Publishing 2012!

Birger Sturgis Loomer was born and raised in Oslo, Norway. Birger founded Dark Matter Norway Publishing in 2012 to be an alternative to traditional publishing by offering titles digitally, for immediate distribution world wide, even before they are printed to paper. In his experience with physical and electronic distribution of products, Birger wanted to be at the tip of the spear of the new technologies offering books (and soon diverse media) to customers immediately through online channels. Birger comes from a long history of online business development including online gaming and is excited to be pushing forward into unknown territory of digital delivery of creative media.

“The publishing business is going through a paradigm shift. We at Dark Matter Norway Publishing are very excited about the future of publishing, though the industry seems to be turned upside-down, due to all the new delivery methods. New formats are igniting the market and adding a new chapter to the long story of the written word. We are starting our journey on the new wave. The new digital mediums will dominate our relationships with readers and inspire innovation in our products.

I think it is more accurate to call Dark Matter Norway a ‘storyteller's company’ because we will not be limiting our offerings to only text products. In our world, the story is king, and the method of sharing that story grows more flexible as digital delivery is advanced. In addition to our books, we will be creating graphic novels, audio books and films.

All my career I wanted to create a business on the leading edge of a revolution. This is the time.”

Our Vision

Our vision extends much farther than printed words. We have started our journey by sharing our stories world- wide through online distribution, but we will be expanding our offerings with the release of our audio book in summer 2012, and are finalizing plans for the production of our graphic novel of Child of the Jotun late 2012.

Much more to come!
