Where do bestsellers come from ?
Sunmark Publishing company mantra
Sunmark Publishing.
Your life in your hands
A Sunmark book is physically light, yet it
contains much energy from many people.
Consider the authors lifelong effort, the
editors enthusiasm, possibly an artists
visual contribution, the printers
dedication, the hard work of the sales staff,
the long hours from the delivery team,
plus the care and attention from the
bookstore workers. Then, of course, the
critical participation of the reader, who we
hope may be inspired by the book and
carry this energy onwards in life.

Emotional reaction
Sunmark creates a large variation of books, but whatever
the category, we recognize that readers want to be
emotionally moved. Be it factual revelations, painful
stories, loving moments, inspiring characters, or exciting
insights. If a book isnt connecting to an emotion, its not
connecting to your reader.

How do you recognize great writing? For some, great writing is when a reader doesnt
realize they are actually reading and they simply start to seethey see inside the
authors mind. Great writing isnt just about the text. Its about the vision it creates.

Sometimes great authors do not realize the wider appeal of their writing, because they are too focused in their area of expertise. Its true
that the author may need to be paying all their attention to their one particular area of expertise to provide valuable information. But it is
up to the editor to bring this value to as many people as possible. Read between the lines to recognize who will read the lines.

To notice new stories it helps to be excited by every new day. There are new scientific discoveries every day, new world events, new people being
born and people passing away. Even if what you notice is simply a new angle on an old story, that is an original insight. Being excited by life and
the fresh potential of each new day allows one to see and feel these new ideas. This is the duty and pleasure of those who create books.

Cover your market

20
We observe buyers at bookshops around the world. Most buyers give each book cover only a few seconds glance when they are browsing.
Eventually they are attracted by one cover, open it and read further. So a book needs a fantastic cover to catch their eyes quickly. Research
the target market of your book. Learn what attracts them. Not only this, it is also important to study what else your book is competing
against in its category. With only a few seconds to stand out on the bookshelf, its important to cover your market.

Repeat viewing
22
A book is often only read once. Repeat reading will not only bring about new perceptions, but hence, new learning. Good information can be
lost if we are not reminded of it and put this learning into daily practice. For reading or writing, repeat viewing is essential to keep improving.

The truth is written in simple language that is easy to understand. It's actually easier to write something complicated. You can tell the
real ability of an author if they are able to simplify both easy and difficult subject matter into something that people can understand
without any difficulty. Allowing one to think about the message, not the medium it is conveyed by.

If the people producing a book are determined to make it a success, the book is on its way to becoming a bestseller. If the writers
themselves don't set their goals high and have a clear vision of the prospects, they won't be able to see the course they should take to
get there.

How to learn from the naturally occurring

principles of life
The natural universal principles of life govern more than we easily recognize.
Everything from living things, to the rise and decline of businesses and nations, is
all governed by natural universal principles. Sunmark keeps all this in mind when
thinking about the direction that a book is likely to take.We keep our goals high,
while being aware of staying in harmony with the natural principles of life.
A million-seller publishing company

operated by a select few
Even though Sunmark has only 40 employees, by concentrating effort on their work
without restricting themselves to areas of responsibility, Sunmark has so far been
able to produce five million-selling books.
We are not satisfied with results that are

within our expectations
Rather than be content when a book is well received, we constantly think of ways to
extend its potential. Even for books that have only been on sale for a few hours, we
think about the timing for a second and third release. Once again actively planning
how to extend the sales.
Having the courage to keep changing!

In order to change the world through your work, the first thing you need to do is
decisively change yourself. Rather than rely only on instructions that were given in
the past, refuse to be satisfied with the status quo. Be determined to continue
growing day by day and you will melt preconceptions.
Turning bestsellers into enduring bestsellers

For publishers, enduring bestsellers are invaluable. For example, 50,000 reprints of a
book are comparable to the value of 10 new publications. Having said that, publishers
always need to focus not only on new books, but also on books that are already in
print to ensure that they continue to sell for a long time.
Giving importance to the ideas of

the individual salesperson
The bookstore is where it all happens in our industry. Some information can only be
acquired when salespeople head out to the bookstores where they can be closest to
the readers. This also allows them to be communicating with bookstore employees as
much as possible. Suggestions from bookstores are some of the most valuable
insights we learn about our promotions.
Giving it everything to increase the total

number of copies sold
All Sunmark employees ascertain the possibilities for a new book and work as one
team to actively promote it. By doing so, the one book promotion can lead to 10 times
the initial response and at times even more than a hundred times the response.
Let go of limitations! The sky is the limit

Even when it seems like the response to a book has subsided, you never know what
could rekindle its popularity. Sometimes sales can increase beyond your expectations
after a sudden push from TV exposure or when the author is interviewed. For this
reason, we always keep the possibility of long-term sellers in mind.
Sunmark Philosophies
74
75
For over 40 years our company has published numerous, enduring bestsellers. In just the last
15 years Sunmark has produced five million-sellers. We are truly thankful to the increasing
number of readers with whom our ideas and ways of thinking resonate.
Books that are loved and popular throughout generations often hold global truths. At
Sunmark, we constantly strive to produce such books. In other words, rather than chase after
the transient mainstream, we are more concerned with making books that have their own
energy, and developing that energy to its highest possible level. We believe that for books to
continue to be read far and wide, they must contain a truly special and original energy.
In order to make such books, the creators must devote their full power and passion to their
job. This includes Sunmarks helpful, persistent, meticulous work ethos, dedicated to
delivering the best possible finished product into the hands of the author and reader. This
takes a united team of dedicated people in editing, sales, and production, who all share the
same ideals. Overall, combining talents to provide authors with the intellectual stimulation,
motivation, and support often needed to make great books. This is the cornerstone of
Sunmark Publishings philosophy and the ideals we seek to fulfill daily.
We believe that the truth is always written in a straightforward manner. By rephrasing

complicated concepts into simple terms. Making deeper ideas more palpable. In our own
small way, Sunmark aims to provide our readers with new surprises and warm
encouragement in paving the way through life.
Wherever there are people, there is also sadness, suffering, happiness, learning, and work that
never seems to end. We strive to see through the eyes of our readers so we can pass on the
energy and passion of people across generations and countries.
Welcome to Sunmark Publishing. We sincerely hope you enjoy our books.
