Unique Process

Getting Started

You wrote a book. Maybe it’s been collecting dust somewhere in your house. Been there. Maybe you tried with traditional publishers and you’ve been collecting rejection letters. Done That. Maybe you’ve checked with some of the self-publishing companies and the prices made you cry, laugh and become irate all at the same time. Saw that circus and decided not to join. Pukiyari is nothing like any of that. We are a company established by writers and artists. We’ve been there, done that, gone through all that drama only to realize we can create a better way. So we did.

  • Control over pricing of the book.
  • Control over inventory.
  • Control over the when and how of public relations campaigns.
  • Control over marketing programs.


Editing

The manuscript may be finished but the book now needs of a group of professionals to take it to publishing ready level. First step: editing. We provide professional proofreading and copyediting, staged in four phases during which we catch every possible type of mistake, including spelling and grammar errors, and provide writing style advice to go after any problem and conflict in the writing or the content.

Once you're done writing you think everything is taken care. You’ve read your book so many times you are blind to the errors on the page and deaf to the problems screaming at you. Some of the flaws and concerns we find through proofreading and copyediting are normal stuff, some are very special. No two manuscripts are the same. As a matter of fact, most authors leave behind many fingerprints and tells that are unique to them; some leave so many we can actually say without a doubt what’s their Achilles' heel.

Every book needs a good scrub and a loving hug at the end of their journey as just words and their debut as published work. Pukiyari provides both.
