What we offer authors

Editorial expertise

Our editorial board specialises in educational and methodological literature. Reviewers are practising methodologists and teachers familiar with the curricula of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Established distribution

A catalogue of 10,000+ titles and direct supply to schools in Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and other regions of Kazakhstan. Your print run enters a working network rather than sitting in a warehouse.

Pilot print runs

We start with a pilot print run — without long-term commitments. Based on the response from schools, we decide on scaling and additional editions.

Transparent terms

The contract fixes royalties, print run, rights, and timelines. All material terms are agreed upon before signing. We do not leave hidden clauses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Primarily — educational and methodological literature for the general curriculum of the Republic of Kazakhstan (grades 1–11), as well as guides for UNT preparation and subject olympiads. Fiction and belles-lettres are not considered within the scope of this page; for unconventional submissions, please write in free form — we will review on an individual basis.
PDF or DOCX, up to 20 MB. If the manuscript is larger — provide a public link to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Illustrations may be packaged into a separate archive and noted in the comments.
Citizenship is not a mandatory condition. We work with authors and editorial teams from EAEU countries and other jurisdictions, provided that rights and tax documentation are properly arranged.
Royalty rates and the scope of transferred rights are agreed individually and fixed in the contract. The base model is author payments per print run and/or per copies sold. Specific figures depend on the publication format, volume, and pilot print run.
The standard term is five business days from receipt of the application. If an external review is required, the term may be extended up to ten business days; we will notify you separately in such a case.
Yes. At an early stage, a synopsis, an extended outline, and one or two sample chapters are sufficient. If the idea is of interest, we will request the full text for evaluation. This saves time for both the author and the editorial team.
