Daarvak Publishing House — Artist/Author Book Program
Professional Publishing Collaboration Package
Dear Artist / Author,
Thank you for your interest in collaborating with Daarvak Publishing House, based in Germany.

2. Critical Reviews & Cultural Positioning
- Each book project may include critical texts written by experienced individuals from various specialized fields — including art, literature, and other areas — offering diverse and insightful perspectives on the artist’s or author’s work. These texts may appear inside the book or be used as part of the promotional strategy.
- We also organize online panel discussions, talks with artists or authors, and international events — helping to build visibility and meaningful conversation around your work in a curated and professional setting.
- This is more than just publishing: it’s an effort to place your project within a broader cultural conversation, enabling it to resonate across creative communities and global audiences.

Investment & Publishing Model
We believe in transparent collaboration. Instead of high-cost, large-scale offset printing (which often ranges between 6000–4000€ or more and requires storage and risk), we provide a more accessible model through Print-on-Demand (POD) — allowing global reach without upfront print inventory.
The total project fee for our POD-based publishing and promotional services is: 1200€–2250€ depending on scope, language, and length.
This one-time publishing fee covers the full range of professional services — including editing, design, ISBN registration, project coordination, and launch promotion.
After publication, your book will be distributed globally through Print-on-Demand platforms (such as Amazon and Ingram). These platforms typically retain a percentage for printing and retail distribution (approx. %40–30).
You, as the rights-holder and investor in your project, retain %100 of the remaining revenue — which means up to %70 of the book’s net sales.
We take no royalty or commission from your sales after the book is released. This model gives you full ownership, long-term visibility, and maximum earning potential from your work.
Payment Terms
To initiate the project, a first installment of %50 of the total fee is required upon signing the publishing agreement.
The remaining %50 will be due before final approval of the print-ready files and launch of the book.
This phased payment model allows for smoother planning and reflects a shared commitment to the book’s success.
Timeline & Decision
Once you confirm your participation, we will begin the development phase. To reserve your publishing slot, we kindly ask that you confirm your acceptance of this offer within 7 days of receiving this email.
Should you have any questions, we’re happy to schedule a short call to review your ideas and tailor the plan accordingly.
Warm regards,
The Daarvak Publishing House Team
