Raider Publishing

When Adam Salviani grew tired of promoting his own books without the support of his publisher, he decided to create his own solution. The result is Raider Publishing, a book publishing company founded in 2005. Raider Publishing currently has offices in New York City, London, and South Africa and plans to open offices in India and Australia. Raider Publishing brings all of its projects through the same production process. When a manuscript is identified as a target by the company, Raider Publishing's editors and executive staff work to finalize a contract with the writer. The company then prepares the manuscript for publication through copy editing services, and it designs a cover concept to support the book's marketing. The book is often published within six to eight months after the contract with the writer is finalized. After the book is published, Raider Publishing promotes each book through several mediums, including television, radio, and press releases. Raider Publishing also promotes its books through its own Internet radio network and in the literary magazine it founded. Through these varied media outlets, Raider guarantees each book will receive exposure to at least half a million people. The company also supports authors' efforts to self-promote their work and offers them 51 percent of royalties, rather than the standard 10 to 15 percent. As an incentive to booksellers, Raider Publishing offers a 50 percent trade discount to retail partners, rather than the standard 10 percent, resulting in a higher profit margin for the sellers. Raider Publishing accepts manuscripts through email or standard mail. The company is seeking fiction, nonfiction, and poetry manuscripts.
