ABOUT NAYIKA

WHAT WE DO...

 

Established as a publisher in 2008, Nayika is an up and coming publisher of educational books based in England. We publish books for young adults and adults alike in the following genres:

  • Mind, Body and Spirit.
  • Information Technology.

  • Our main expertise and background are in these two fields and so we naturally publish books in these fields. The books we publish are mostly non-fiction, educational. We are currently working on the Wisdom of the World Series consisting of 10 books of advice for a fulfilled life. In Information Technology, we are similarly planning a series of books and are looking for authors.

    for Authors and illustrators...

     

    Nayika is looking for authors with both expertise in their particular field and the ability to explain various concepts distinctly. We want authors who are passionate, innovative, and original.
     
    Nayika does not work quite the same as the more traditional book publishers do. (To learn more about the background of Nayika and what makes us different, read this.) For example, the first question many authors ask a potential publisher is "What are you looking for?" At Nayika, we ask authors these questions instead: "What are you an expert on? What do you have real-world experience in? What are you passionate about?" In summary, we're more interested in your ideas, expertise, and passions than we are in having you fill out some hole in our list.
     
    Of course, the Nayika editorial board will work with you to help ensure that your book is marketable and ultimately successful, but the first stage of that process has to be for us to hear about your ideas–not for you to hear about ours!


    Write for us

    If you would like to contact Nayika and get more information about writing or existing publishing opportunities, then we urge you to do so. Even if you have just a single question or a vague idea, we would be happy to respond to that too. You may be surprised how a little brainstorming can really bring things together, and the vague idea can become the most interesting book.
     
    Send your ideas by e-mail in plain text, Microsoft Word, or PDF format to us and we shall respond within a week or two at the most.
     
    Of course, the more detailed and articulate your inquiry is, the easier it will be for us to get back to you promptly with some intelligent comments — and eventually we will want a full proposal. Please download the following proposal template to write a proposal of your idea: Nayika Proposal Questionnaire.pdf
     
    We look forward to hearing from you!
     
    Sincerely,
     
    The Nayika Editorial Team.

    Author Guide and Illustrator Guide

    The publishing process we follow is explained in detail in our Author's and Illustrator's Guide. It gives an idea of the file formats we would expect as well as style information for the manuscript you would write for us once your proposal has been accepted by us for publication.
