Data about Comparative Publications Benefits

Frequently, book publishing by many of the larger publishers only relates to established writers and those with individual celebrity status.

How we consider an author's submission

We will consider the work of authors when submitted to us directly by means of an introductory letter together with a synopsis and sample chapters of the relevant manuscript.

Whose work do we Publish?

Pegasus, whilst accommodating for the effects of the trend by publishers only to look for celebrities, produces and encourages particularly the work of first-time authors, and supports them in proving their abilities.

The Company numbers amongst its authors those with diverse and excitingly new talents, and these are encouraged alongside their literary prowess. Their various abilities embrace a wealth of expertise from eg drawing and illustrating their own books, painting and literary research, to becoming experts in 'Sudoku', memorable singers, songwriters and musicians.

They often contribute fascinating details with their diverse talents and use material and experiences from their unusual, exciting and sometimes challenging backgrounds.

Alongside such celebrities as, for example, the many talented writers whose work is currently acclaimed and about whom we write on our website.

Our Reputation

Creating and maintaining a strong reputation and using the latest techniques –

Because we consider for publication the work of authors on such a wide range of genre, and select these on the merit of the topic and the writing, the main publishing house has developed over the years an impressive and lengthy list of books. This fact has attracted widespread interest and support from authors, and the publishing business press. Each author is deservedly highlighted on our website, in sequence, once their books have been published. Those currently in print are listed fully on our website. We maintain this facility alongside our other marketing strategies to enhance the public awareness of new authors\’ books.

Included are novels with a compelling, unusual and challenging story line, a number of books of humour and human interest, a very strong non-fiction portfolio, popular reference titles, together with books from established and previously published authors.

We particularly give consideration to manuscripts submitted by well-known figures in the public arena. Some of these are not yet quite famous enough to be snapped up by the largest publishing houses but have produced a very readable and well-researched book. Many find that their careers benefit from having had a book published recently and the fact of their names being in print maintains that each celebrity concerned is more relevant subsequently to the public.
