Synopsis

The information about ancient Sumerians is primarily academic in nature. It is intended for a narrow circle of specialists. The author’s idea is to make it accessible to a wide range of readers.

Without pretending to have absolute scientific and academic accuracy, using artistic fiction, the novel is based on historical realities and facts. These elements convey atmosphere of that time and immerse the reader in the world of the long vanished civilization.

The heroes revived in the novel, possess features and performance similar to modern people, but possible coincidences are casual. An intent reader will find parallels with the disappeared Sumerian era and our society - our era, which replaced the Sumerian.

The author, Vladimir Vassilenko, has published Namtar in Russian. Now, he's seeking for native English publishers to spread the historical word and the reflections on it.

Sales arguments

  • Please read the unedited (and without proof-read) sample of our book: shorturl.at/bpJVZ
  • Historical fiction genre takes only 5% of the market share in USA. Thus, we want to emphasize that our book is in the Romantic genre
  • Sumerian theme is mainly historical. With a pinch of artistic license, the author presents the ancient civilization in a more accessible way
  • Our book already exists, and we would be happy to present it to the English speaking audience
  • The novel is intended to develop into a full length trilogy, and Namtar is only the first part

Similar titles

  • Sumerians: A History From Beginning to End by Henry Freeman. Self-published 2016. The book shows Sumerian history, but is scientific in its nature. Vladimir's book is "non-historical," where artistic license sometimes sacrifices absolute historical truth
  • Kingdoms of Sumeria by Amazon Prime Series. The plot is straight historical. With a right manuscript it's possible to create a movie, or series; considering it's the Amazon Prime, and Sumerian theme is unusual
  • Trade winds to Meluhha by Vasant Davé. RR Roy National Agency 2017. The author unites historical facts with the fiction, and shows Sumerian civilization from eyes of a foreigner. As much as Vladimir's book, there is the protagonist and his story. However, the protagonist is a Royal dignitary, which allows us to show the structure of the Sumerian society and lifestyle in more details

Audience

Those, who conquer the peaks. In ancient Sumeria, only the tenth were them. Individuals looking for a compilation of existing historic information and artistic license. Printed version: for 40+ audience. eBook version: for 18-49 age group

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com.
