UAE-based Uhibbook Publishing wants to ease first-time writers’ entry

Dubai: An independent publishing firm, Uhibbook, is aiming to tap aspiring authors in the UAE and give them a platform to bring out their writing.

“Traditional publishing does not exist in the UAE, and we want to enable aspiring writers to get professional help while retaining creative control of their book,” said Mehnaz Anshah, who co-founded the business with Sadia Anwar and Shabna Ibrahim.

Uhibbook Publishing hosted its official launch event at the Sharjah book fair. Going forward, they will bring together the authors community and connect them to services that they wouldn’t have access to as an individual looking to self-publish.

An author can hand over a first draft and relax, while they create and market the book for them. They also offer self-publishing support and help to break down the steps of the process. So, if an author wants help in just one part of the process, be it only distribution support, or creative help, or in the marketing stage, they can customize their services.
