Even though my involvement with the publishing
industry dates back several years, my collaboration with Saita Publications was
an original experience. With the “birth” of books comes the “throes” of the
publishing process, with the passing of endless months in the decision to
publish a book and the repeated negotiations which come with it.
However, with
Saita Publications, the publishing process was meaningful and precise. From the
moment my piece of work received approval (sooner than the expected time period),
it was shaped quickly, within an atmosphere of fellow teamwork, since the books
are free, and the only thing that remains is the love for the book. A fact,
that is evident from the quality of the work (the page layout, the original and
creative front covers, etc). To my great surprise, it was easier and a more
“painless” creative process and maybe that is why I enjoyed it without stress,
endless negotiations, and time being wasted.
Even though I
am a lover of the printed book, I believe that the electronic book (eBook), is
something new, untouched, and is directed towards the bigger part of the
audience/readers. Especially, the books of “Saita” (paper plane), which are
given freely, without ever that diminishing their quality, and that is how they
help the author and reader to “fly on its wings” free!
