Saita publications: an open, non commercial,
e-publishing house
In summer 2012, I developed a website through which
authors had the chance to upload their writings without cost and to interact
with the readers directly and free. I named my project Saita and the aim of it
was to redefine the relationship between publisher-author-reader, by
cultivating a true dialogue and by establishing an effective communication
channel for authors and readers alike. Also, Saita gave:
- unemployed young people the opportunity to be
trained and to develop their personal and professional skills (through their
active participation in the publishing process). All volunteers’ CVs (in both
Greek and English) are uploaded on a specific page on the website of Saita in
order to be easily accessed by employers.
- pupils the opportunity to discover e-reading
- teachers the opportunity to have access to a free,
well-organised educational material for their pupils/ students
Through the Microsoft Youthspark initiative “Getbusy”,
I acquired useful knowledge in the fields of entrepreneurship and online
marketing that actively helped me to further develop my project and to increase
significantly the visibility of Saita website.
Specifically, I learned how to use the social media
channels and the online content of Saita effectively for the enhancement of the
website. Thus, in a short period of time, android applications of Saita books
become very popular with more than 99.733 downloads.
