Publishing Process Flow
What does it take to get published? QUALITY!
While Quality is one of the most important factors to decide the success of a title, reaching the right audience, getting sufficient visibility at the right target segment, reaching out to the masses and brand building play an enormous role in attaining that success.
We select our titles by the simple logic of a first-round curation for a quality check and then place them in three (3) Buckets,
Bucket I comprises those titles which are highly rated for Ukiyoto's complete investment at each stage of production to endpoint distribution.
Bucket II comprises those titles which are ranked next and where the Author pays only the part for Promotion and Visibility while the rest of the tasks are taken care of by us.
Bucket III comprises those titles which may need further work and improvement on the writing and are not considered at the moment. They maybe submitted for re-consideration after three (3) months of decision letter.
