Politycki & Partner works for all parties involved in the book sector - be they publishers, authors or institutions. We will be happy to visit you on your premises to discuss your wishes, later elaborating a concept or strategy for you on this basis. We will assist you with both the selection of manuscripts and the appraisal of the relevant titles, developing an itemised project paper for each job and either assuming responsibility for its full implementation or for specific tasks on the list. In this way, we guarantee an efficient collaboration between the publishing company, the author and ourselves, ensuring transparency at all times.
