Divya Co-Publishing Model vs Self-Publishing vs Traditional Publishing

The Divya Co-Publishing Model is unique in the breadth and range of the services and support it provides to authors. Our starting point is the author centric philosophy we have developed, that puts the author’s interests first. Our goal is to help our authors be successful best-selling authors, that earn a good income from their hard work and creative effort. To do that we have to work hard and be creative as well. Nothing we do on your behalf is easy, but it is crucial to your success. See our article Why the Divya Co-Publishing Model is Unique for a full understanding of the benefits for authors.

We are not looking for an easy way to make money as a publisher. Our goal is to be the most successful publisher in the world. That will only happen if our authors are successful, so that is our primary purpose.  

Let me know if there are services not listed here that you would like to see included. There is a good chance we already do them, but I have forgotten to list them. If we don’t currently offer your suggestion, we will constructively consider your suggestion and, if possible, add it. If we can’t add it now, I will explain why.
