Follow the Minimum Criteria for Evaluating a Publishing House

 

The online presence is now indispensable for any company, but even more so for publishing in the age of digital reading. This is why the first checks on the seriousness of a publishing house starts right from the internet and then end up, if possible, in your own trusted bookstore.

Ø  The publisher's website was not developed with a free platform, where the advertising of the service provider remains. WordPress.com, Wix.com, and similar are fine for a personal blog but are not a good showcase for businesses and professionals. If they don't invest in an efficient and pleasant site, they will hardly invest in authors.

Ø  The referral email address is a domain address, not a free mailbox. If even we bloggers can afford to have a proprietary email, all the more reason the publishing houses must have it. Even an imaginative email address denotes little seriousness.

Ø  The VAT number of the business is indicated on the homepage of the site, as well as the registered office of the company.

Ø  The texts on the publisher's site do not contain errors in grammar, spelling, or syntax. Blunders are not allowed by those who work with words and their quality. Would you entrust the editing of your manuscript to those who did not take care of their communication first?

Ø  The publisher's website is aimed primarily at readers, showing them the catalog of books and authors published new releases and links for online purchase. Only in a secondary section can you find out how to send him a manuscript for evaluation.

Ø  Check the update of the catalog on the site with respect to the latest publications: take any online store and look at the latest books published by that publisher with the advanced search.

Ø  Pay attention to the published literary genre. Be wary of the publisher if he claims to accept manuscripts of any kind, from thriller to romance, from non-fiction to fiction for children, without having a precise editorial line. Especially small publishing houses only work well if they specialize in a certain genre and/or target audience.

Let’s start - The Internet is very much like television in that it takes time away from other inquiries, offers entertainment and data, but in no way can it compare with the warm, personal experience of reading a good book. Okay! So, this is not the only sense that why the Internet will never replace books? Moreover, they offer an in-depth awareness of a subject that sitting in front of a computer monitor cannot offer.
