How is Yaldah Publishing different from a larger publisher?
Yaldah Publishing is modeled after the larger houses. We welcome solicited submissions (after you’ve sent us a query letter and we’ve asked to see your manuscript), we assume the financial responsibility, and we walk a book through editing, typesetting, layout, design, cover art, pricing, printing, binding, and distribution. But those basics are about where the similarity ends. Here are the differences: Agents: Large publishing houses, in particular the “Big 6” New York publishing houses, only accept manuscripts represented by a literary agent. Yaldah Publishing accepts manuscripts from both agents and the authors themselves. Manuscript review: Large publishing houses may not even read all of the manuscripts they receive, much less consider it for publication. Yaldah Publishing takes the time to read every submission, whether it’s accepted or not. We figure that is the least we can do for the author who has gone to the time and effort of writing a book and querying us. Author as person
