COMPANY
DESCRIPTION
Zmanma Marketing (formerly Simcha Publishing Company) focuses
on publishing and/or marketing young adult and adult Jewish
titles to the entire spectrum of the Jewish market in the
United States, Canada, England, Australia, South Africa,
and Israel.
We work with a number of Jewish publishers and imprints,
including Devora Publishing, Pitspopany
Press, Urim Publishers, Artzy Press, Penina Press,
and others to assure that your book receives the widest
distribution possible and is placed on the shelves of bookstores
and chains, as well as libraries and other retail/wholesale
outlets.
We have full time sales representatives in the United States,
Israel and England.
In the United States our reps work with the Jewish book
stores, the leading chains like Barnes & Noble and Borders
as well as the major wholesalers: Ingram and Baker &
Taylor. We work with most library wholesalers as well as
the Association of Jewish Libraries. Besides our offices
in the United States, Israel and England, we have distribution
in South Africa, Canada and Australia.
In Israel we sell to the major book chains: Steimatzky's,
Tsomet Hasefarim, and Yerid Hasefarim. We service over 30
book stores that carry English language titles, and work
through organizations and book fair venues to promote our
titles.
Because of the time and effort necessary to market a book,
we won't usually take on a project
that we think will sell less than 1,000 copies of a book.
It's too expensive to develop the book and get it into the
market for us to handle any title that we don't think can
sell well. Our first print runs are typically between 500-2,000
copies depending on hard/soft cover mix and market interest.
We handle all layout, design, editing,
proofreading, and printing of your title. Our
covers are full color and visually appealing. You receive
your own, experienced editor to work with, and we consult
with you on every aspect of your book.
Once your book is at the print stage, we send advance
copies of your title for review. After your book is printed,
we market your book through press releases, press kits,
reviews, buyer presentations, mailings, and advertisements.
We try to schedule speaking engagements and interviews
for you on radio and through the print media. Our
job is to make sure people know about your book and have
an opportunity to purchase it. Amazon.com, Barnes
& Noble.com as well as many other websites (and our
own websites) will feature your book. Our titles are traditionally
some of the best sellers at Jewish Book Month (USA) in November
of each year, and we work diligently to have our authors
speak at the Jewish Community Centers across the U.S. The
key is constant publicity over an extended time.
We've had some notable publishing successes, and some
failures, but most of our titles have sold at least 1,000
copies within 18 months.
