LOGISTICS
At The Poetics GmbH, our logistics game is strong. With warehouses strategically positioned across continents, we ensure swift and efficient book deliveries. But that's not all – we've partnered with printers offering Print on Demand (POD) services. This means that even if a book flies off the shelves in the warehouses due to a surge in social media interest, our POD system kicks in, guaranteeing a seamless supply chain and ensuring that our books are always shippable. Warehouses are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Mexiko. Printers are in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, India, South Africa and Australia.
PUBLISHING
At The Poetics Publishing, we redefine publishing by going beyond the norm. We believe in fair compensation for authors, a practice that not only aligns with our values but also contributes to our overall success. By ensuring our authors are well-rewarded, we not only foster creativity but also enhance our profitability.
Our commitment extends beyond conventional practices. Unlike many publishers, we handle distribution, translate all our books (usually a privilege reserved for bestsellers), and orchestrate comprehensive marketing campaigns. It's a collective effort, with authors promoting each other, creating a supportive community that boosts visibility.
When it comes to royalties, we take pride in setting a new standard. Our authors enjoy royalties on their original work that are, on average, 385% higher, while translations receive an average of 313% higher royalties. We believe that by elevating our authors, we elevate the entire literary landscape. Join us in reshaping the publishing industry, where fair compensation meets unparalleled success.
