The way Publishing should be

Hermit is here to change the Publishing industry?
Hermit is an independent publisher
As such, we can do things differently.
Hermit believes that the authors should receive 100% of post-production royalties.
For too long, authors have received an average of just 4% in royalties.
Hermit creates a deal that benefits both parties
Authors have always felt grateful for any publishing deal they are offered.
Hermit thinks we should work for you, not the other way round.
It can take years to write a book, yet authors never feel like the client.
Hermit is flexible around the needs of the author
We allow Authors to have more say in their book.
Hermit understands that your book is very important to you
We do our best to see if there is a way to publisher your book, even when you have been rejected by other publishers.
Hermit specialises in short print runs
Some subjects don't sell thousands of copies, but that doesn't me a manuscript should be rejected.
