Leadstart Publishing
Leadstart Corporation has its roots firmly in book publishing, public relations, online retail and education. The organization’s flagship company, Leadstart Publishing, has been hailed, by national and international media, as one of the most successful publishing houses in present India.
Success to this group did not come in small measures. Every year it added, into its portfolio, several businesses, products, services and brands. There is no shortcut to success, and the Leadstart team realizes it well; its claim to success is an excellent blend of creative inspiration and individual approach to each customer. The company, today, has offices in India and the US and operates from around the world with global partners.
Empowering Authors
Empowering Thought. That’s how we would like to describe our business principle and that is our tag line, too. We, at Leadstart Publishing, believe in empowering every person who interacts with us. Which is because, we believe that a company can have a fast and sustainable growth only if all the elements associated with its business environment grow, effectively, along with the firm. Several years’ of our experience in several businesses has reinforced that belief. As an empowerment strategy, we keep all our employees trained well, investors informed suitably, vendors updated with the latest trends in the industry, and also by providing information to our valued customers so to enhance their buying process.
We employ this technique to empower our authors sans whom our whole publishing business would cease to exist. The book publishing industry has been around for centuries but the amount of myths and misconceptions people have gathered about it is hard to envisage. Even after the advent of the Internet information still lags behind; the know-how about this industry is pathetically misguiding. Each day we receive hundreds of queries from authors across the world asking to publish their work. From all those interactions we have compiled a set of frequently-asked-questions, and we have answered most of them to the best of our knowledge, like a leading book publisher in India should do. Also, we have included a few ‘author resources’ to provide more knowledge about this business. We will keep updating this space frequently. Please take the RSS subscription of the site and also subscribe to the newsletter to keep you posted.
Our Publishing Ethos
At Leadstart Publishing, our writers are treated family. We were rated as the fastest-growing independent book publishing house in India five years ago, but we do realize the road ahead is strenuously too long. We attribute this success-so-quickly to the inherent ethos we religiously follow. Yes, we are traditional publishers. But we wish to change the way traditional publishers are viewed at by authors. To achieve that we ensure each mail or manuscript that we receive is replied to in the shortest time possible.
If we receive a manuscript we will let you know, by a prompt email, whether we can go ahead with publishing it or not instead of keeping authors on tenterhooks for months without reverts. If we cannot take up a book, we let the author know reasons why so that he can move on to other publishers. From manuscript evaluation, replies to authors about chances of publishing, book distribution and publicity, we have the shortest turnaround time among most book publishing companies. And, yes, we ensure each deal is absolutely transparent and with fair play.
