Sakura Publishing was founded in 2010 by author and musician Derek Vasconi. Having been stressed out over the apathetic way major publishing houses treat people who want to become authors, Derek decided to create a company that offers a genuine interest in anyone with a creative literary vision. Derek also structured Sakura to act as an intermediary publishing label for novice authors, as he offers services such as website construction and social networking assistance that is essential to building a successful author platform. Sakura Publishing is the home to established authors as well. Derek has built his publishing house to include the benefits of publicity and social networking through Sakura's active goodreads, tumblr, twitter, wordpress, and facebook sites. Not to mention setting up interviews, public appearances, and traditional ad publicity too. This is where Sakura breaks away from the terrible stigma of being a vanity publisher: Sakura Publishing does all this for their authors like any major publisher would, which is to say---FOR FREE. Overall, Sakura Publishing has been working hard towards the advancement of a more supportive environment for writers during all parts of their writing process. Sakura authors have reached worldwide markets with their books and have enjoyed steady sales through Sakura Publishing's online store, Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles, and various other internet and brick and mortar stores across the globe. « less
