Once your manuscript has been professionally
assessed, and is recommended by our editors
We will
- provide free quotes so you know exactly what your
book will cost to publish before outlaying anything
- show you samples of current Sid Harta titles, so
you can see how your book might look when finished
- offer you a contract to produce and promote your
book
- arrange an ISBN for your title
- manage the publishing and production process
...starting with a full edit, conducted personally and confidentially,
and
... arranging typesetting and layout, cover and book design
- arrange for your book to be produced in 'galley'
form initially, to be sent to our established list of bona fide reviewers
for their consideration, the number of galleys produced is based
on the category and target markets.

copies, this to include author biography and photograph and an initial
review of the book

the printers to produce your book
