Showcase

Are you an author of English / Bengali or other language looking for publishing your book for serious readers who would read, comment and buy your book?

But you have the following problems...

a. Preparation from manuscript to print-ready book with cover, layout, printing and binding – from ink to bits
b. Finding a platform / forum where your book will be known among your readers/target audience and to know what readers think about your book – marketing and promotion.
c. Cost of Printing and Inventory of printed books. High upfront cost
d. Issues of Publishing – ISBN, Copyright – follow-up, co-ordination
e. Pricing your book – too high? Too low?
f. Finally, the ability to promote and sell the book and collect the payment - How? How can I trust? 

    Our Comprehensive, Clear, No-hidden charge solution for you:

  1. Platform: Our online magazine Pentasect ( www.pentasect.com ) is one of the largest read cultural online magazines of its kind across  global audience. Hence we can say that we have a reasonably good platform to market your book among the target audience.
  2. Cost to Publish: The Book being in electronic format costs almost nothing – except that of typing and formatting.
  3. Printing Option: There has emerged a technology now, which we have embraced called PoD – Print on Demand. This can print a single book or say 10 books in a lot – in full book form for very economic cost per copy. You can give print orders as you move along instead of committing a print order of 300-500 copies at the start.
  4. No upfront cost and inventory: Since you print as you need, you have pay no upfront cost, no warehousing, no bulk freight cost.
  5. Selling the Book: You would be able to sell the books on Pentasect platform as well as in other online and retail outlets.

  2. No charge for being profiled and promoted  in Pentasect Platform
  3. No charge for marketing / promoting your book among our readers
  4. Free Review of your book written by our team of editors in consultation with you
  5. A reader might be interested to read the full book / get a print copy (while he reads the excerpts online or referred).
  6. He then issues a Print order and payment (electronic/other) which comes to us.
  7. We get the book printed and ship to the address of the customer.
  8. The price of the book is decided by the author.
  1. Hence cost of a book will be = Typing Cost + DTP + Print and Freight + Author’s price.
  2. We will only charge a commission on each book sold and that will be 15-20% of the Author’s price.
  3. The author can either self-publish or publish through us. In both cases, we will get the ISBN for the title.
