Welcome to our newsletter!
We are Ambika Sambasivan and Suhani Parikh, publishers and partners in Sambasivan & Parikh, a children's press we are building from the ground up. We came together after years of running our individual independent publishing houses: Ambika as the co-founder of Yali Books and Suhani as the founder of Modern Marigold Books. We connected in late 2021, and we discovered we had much in common. We had similar visions for our presses, and we both wanted to grow our businesses in thoughtful ways. And then it hit us. Why not do this together as one publishing company? And that is what we are doing today.
This newsletter is a place for us to share some of our indie publishing insights and musings. We will attempt to address some common problems that independent publishers and author-publishers face and we will offer some tips from our experience. We will recommend tools to help you be more productive. If you find our methods valuable, we will offer some templates that you can purchase and use in your business.
We hope you will join us as we roll up our sleeves and figure out how to publish great books while building an impactful business. We also hope to get to know you and share in your successes and struggles. Let’s build a supportive community together.
We are glad you are here.
Best,
Ambika & Suhani
