Sid Harta Publishers wish to extend an
opportunity to new and emerging authors committed to seeing their
work in print to consider Partnership Publishing.
This is NOT vanity
press and should not be confused with "Self Publishing".
The Advantage of Partnership Publishing over Self Publishing
The major difference between Self Publishing
and Partnership Publishing being that under the PP arrangement, Sid
Harta Publishers provides the distribution network, manages
the project from line editing, typesetting, proofing, printing,
book design, co funds production, provides promotional support
including a personalized page for the author's work and bio. Sid
Harta can arrange for author launches/talks to promote their title.
The problem with the alternative, Self Publishing, is that this
method places the onus for the above entirely on the author and,
in consequence, most fail. In order to reduce financial failures
a good manuscript assessment is extremely worthwhile. An objective
opinion is imperative; writers should NOT ask friends or relatives
to offer an opinion but send their manuscripts to a recognized
editor.
Sid Harta Publishers provides this service and will not consider
manuscripts from unpublished authors unless the SHP editors carry
out the assessment as we have not always been impressed with some
of the evaluations offered by other agencies.
Once the assessment has been received, the writer has the opportunity
to revisit his/her work whilst considering the input offered by
the editors. In most cases this leads to re-writing/correcting
point of view, a major problem with new authors, and working on
structure and character development. If SHP's editors give the
work a thumbs up SHP would then contact the author and discuss
Partnership Publishing or even publishing in the traditional sense,
depending on what we perceive to be the title's economic viability.
