An Introduction to
Flying Witch Publications and its clubs
We believe that publishing should benefit both the reader and the author. With so many changes in the publishing world the author is actually, in our opinion, very poorly paid for what can be years of work to produce just one title. And, the reader might have to trawl through many books for the information they want. Our idea is to bring the reader and author closer together. To encourage dialogue between the two and to promote the idea that questions promote understanding and progression for both parties. This means we have 'Ask the Author' (artist/musician) sessions rather than simply the staid interviews usually seen. All you have to do is send an email to our authors in the form of (author's surname)@esotericwriters.free-online.co.uk and we'll ensure that they're addressed either by email if they're private, or in a feature in Broom Cupboard. You never know, it might be your question or statement that sparks off the next title!
Unlike many other publishers, we don't have share-holders to worry about. Why? Because we're a club. The prices you see on our titles are the very minimum we can produce at during that print run. This means that you, the reader, are offered books, booklets, CD's and cassettes at preferential rates; and the author isn't paid a pittance for their work. The 'proprietor' of Flying Witch Publications takes NO money other than her own royalties on her own books. So you can be sure that you benefit.
