To begin with, please feel free to send us a message just to say "hi!" Not only are we a book publisher, we consider ourselves to be a valuable publishing resource, available to answer questions and provide feedback for writers. We also enjoy discussing any current topics in the publishing industry.
ABOUT US:In establishing Savyon Publishing, we have used our extensive publishing experience to combine the very best aspects of book publishing. Large commercial publishers are very competitive, especially for new authors, and they can be difficult to deal with. Vanity presses are notorious for charging excessive amounts of money and producing less than desirable results--not to mention because they make their profit from the production costs they have little incentive to help their authors sell their books. Online self-publishing services have also become fashionable, but in reality very few authors attain the results they had hoped for because again quality is sacrificed for speed. And then there is true self-publishing, which is an excellent option for those with the personal ambition to see their book through to the end, but many authors have difficulty knowing even where to begin once they finish writing.
A unique presence in the publishing industry, Savyon Publishing provides everything necessary to turn rough manuscripts into marketable, professional books. Our team of qualified editors and graphic artists collaborate with our authors to produce a high-quality product as well as a successful marketing plan.
At Savyon there are no cookie-cutter molds to squeeze your book into, but rather each author and book receives individual treatment tailored specifically to their needs. The author's role is integral in what we do. Like self-publishing, we allow all aspects of the creative process to be completed to the author's full approval. We use our expertise to guide our authors through the publishing process--editing, book design and layout, production, and marketing--but ultimately all decisions are made by the author.
Savyon Publishing also requires a standard of quality among the manuscripts we accept. Doing so reflects positively not only upon ourselves, but also upon our authors, thereby allowing them to be taken seriously and with respect in the industry. While Savyon does not expect flawless, professional material upon submission, we look for strong potential and the ability to build upon an already impressive foundation.
Savyon does not charge excessive fees for publishing, but we do ask that our author's are willing to invest in their books by absorbing a percentage of the total production costs. Savyon absorbs the remaining cost, which makes each book we publish a joint-venture for author and publisher. We do not profit from the fees paid to us by the author. They go directly toward book production costs. Thus, Savyon only profits from producing, marketing, and selling a quality book. Also, because the author invests, the royalty rates are significantly higher than those offered by commercial publishers.
We accept and specialize in manuscripts from a wide variety of genres, including fiction, children's, memoirs, and non-fiction of all types.
