Independent publishing, clearly organised.
Sestieri brings together editorial preparation, book production and publishing coordination. The starting point is the work itself: its audience, format and requirements.
A different relationship with publishing
Publishing involves more than choosing a cover and uploading a file. Text editing, typesetting, identifiers, sales descriptions and technical checks must work together. Sestieri approaches these steps as one connected process.
At the outset, the key questions are practical: Is the text ready? Which formats are needed? Who holds the relevant rights? What materials are already available? Answers determine the scope of work.
One project. Clear decisions.
Before production starts, the manuscript, formats, responsibilities and next steps need to be defined. This prevents late changes and unnecessary costs.
Our philosophy
We prefer specific editorial decisions to generic formulas. A crime novel needs a different description and visual presentation from a specialist non-fiction title. The intended reader matters more than the latest design trend.
Clarity also applies to collaboration. It should be evident who prepares files, who approves changes and which tasks require external specialists.
A house for connected media
Books form the central part of Sestieri’s work. Audio and music require distinct production processes and are considered separately where they suit the material.
Our aim is a publication whose text, design, files and product information are consistent. The exact services, costs and responsibilities need to be agreed for each project.
