Mutual Publishing recently announced a new publishing division called SCRIPTA, which will offer book production services to authors who want to self-publish either because their book is meant for private circulation or because they want to avoid the manuscript submission process with its long delays. Mutual has always believed that everyone has a book inside them. Here in Hawai‘i, the cultural history and art of talk story continues to be a strong form of communication. Storytelling is a way of passing down family history, of celebrating shared experiences, and of sharing and understanding differences.
The process is simple. The author brings in a manuscript which is then copy edited for style, grammar, and punctuation, designed and laid out, printed, bound, and shipped. The finished book matches the quality of other trade books available in the marketplace. The book is then the author’s to distribute and sell as he/she wishes.
