The process of writing, editing, publishing, and marketing a book can seem overwhelming to the inexperienced soul.  Sakura Publishing offers you a way to simplify each of the aforementioned steps.  It’s easy: you tell us what services you can’t do, and we do them for you.  Perhaps you’re an author who already has their book formatted and ready to go, or you are just starting on your manuscript but can’t figure out what to say…wherever you are at in the process, we will help you reach your writing goals. Below is a list of our services we provide:

If you would like to be considered for publication at Sakura, please make sure you send us first an inquiry that includes some basic information about yourself, followed by an idea of what you want to publish and a brief synopsis of your manuscript. If we like what you are saying, we will contact you back and request your manuscript in full. If you would like your manuscript be reviewed, we offer this to anyone who would like a critique of their work from an objective standpoint. Please visit our contact page for further details.

 We love books. We really love when we meet authors who have bold visions and want to say something new to the world or maybe just talk about the old but in a fresh and creative way. We are particularly looking for non-fiction accounts, great fiction stories, and anything in between. As long as it is genuine, we are interested in working with you. If you have a book that you would like to publish with us, kindly send us an inquiry to get the process started. Fill out the contact form and let us know what you have in mind. If we accept your book, we may offer you a contract for 1 to 4 books, depending on the scope and size of your literary vision. We do not offer advances at this time, but we do offer fair royalty rates and distribution services as well as advertising and marketing plans. We do accept unsolicited manuscripts as well but reserve the right to reject any and all manuscripts sent to us for possible publication. 

 Ah, this is what we love to do the most besides publish your book and then talk about it incessantly with everyone we know! Book editing is often the most overlooked part of the publication process! Sakura Publishing offers authors a chance to have their manuscripts reviewed and edited by a team consisting of college graduates with writing backgrounds or in some cases, authors themselves. Each book or story sent to us gets a lot of tender loving care. NOTE: You do NOT need to publish with us in order for us to provide an editing service! Feel free to send us an inquiry for our editing services to be done on a manuscript that you intend to release with another label or on your own or for school. Of course, our charm may get the best of you and you’ll end up with us anyways, but no matter what, we offer affordable rates for anyone who is interested in a second opinion on their writing efforts.

  So you have your book ready for printing but no book cover? No problem! This is one area of the publishing process you do NOT want to take lightly! A book cover is one of the major reasons your book (or any book for that matter) will sell thousands and even millions of copies. It’s been a studied and proven. Let us use our team of graphic designers help you come up with the best possible cover for your manuscript! Message for a free quote.

This is a service we offer for those of us who have a writer buried inside and need help getting its voice heard. Many people employ ghost writers to write their stories or do live interviews with them for the purpose of sharing their history. However you want your story told, we can make it happen. This is often an expensive affair, but at Sakura Publishing, we not only beat most of the competition out there, we also allow you to pay as we go, meaning you pay what you can when you can until the writing process is complete! It keeps us both on an equal level and makes the unaffordable suddenly within your reach. If you got a story to tell, come to us, and we’ll tell it for you. Message us for a free quote. 

 With so many people relying on the internet for everything these days, it's no small wonder that many people use their computers for everything, including to enjoy their favorite books! Devices like the Kindle and the Ipad make this fact even more pertinent to any author looking to publish his or her manuscript. If you want to expand the people you can reach with your writing to include the digitally inclined, contact us about converting your book over to an ebook format. We can do it ourselves and then submit your ebook worldwide to every major store that carries ebooks, including Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and of course, Amazon.  

We really can't stress how much there needs to be what is called the "Author Platform" in place if you want to have any chance of a successful marketing campaign. They key component is a website where anyone can go and purchase your book, see what you are all about, and feel like they are part of a community that celebrates your ideas and thoughts. Too many authors overlook this very critical centerpiece to advertising that is the author website. There is a proper way to set up author websites as well, so going out and just starting up a free one on some free website maker could actually hurt your book sales. Let Sakura Publishing handle all the details of an author website, including establishing pages such as "about me," "books available," "index and news page," and "contact" form page, to name a few. We also will link you with all our sites and in doing so, you are instantly plugged into the Sakura Publishing community that continues to grow everyday. We can create flexible sites that allow for continuous updating of recent events and news pieces involving you as an author. Along with this, we know how to make your site not just about advertising but about being INFORMATIVE, which helps with rankings on the search engines, and everyone knows: ranking on the first or second page of search engines guarantees you online traffic that is essential to making book sales. We can help you do this and more.

  Publishing your book is just the first step to making your presence known in the literary universe. The real work truly begins at this point and can last for many months or even years. We are talking about marketing your book on every and any available platform possible, and with the internet making it as simple as pointing a mouse and clicking what you want to read, now more than any other time in history can anyone from anywhere be connected to each other via the written word. Book marketing can involve everything from getting advertisements in local bookstore circulars to getting on national television for a brief promotional spot to rant and rave about your talents as evident in your writing! Sakura Publishing can help you achieve whatever marketing plan you would like to achieve. We have the resources to get you on television as well as get you in newspapers and on radio stations across the world. Send us a message and let us know how best we can help you with marketing.
