Our Modus Operandi
Democratizing Diversity and Universalism
Our mission to democratize cultural, literary, and linguistic diversity starts with mentoring unpublished and unknown writers of children's multicultural literature and guide them to write stories that appeal to children and young adults in all cultural settings. After publication, we use our support structures to reach out to our target beneficiaries (children) and give them unfettered access to our books at no cost.
We collaborate with community-based structures ( school, public, community and municipal libraries, as well as community-based child development organizations) through which we donate our publications. Our book donation program especially targets those libraries with a history of catering to the educational needs of children in under-served segments of society.
Prior to publication we ensure that stories have been meticulously screened by our team of volunteer editors, copyeditors, proofreaders and content review specialists to ascertain that they are appropriately child centric.
Book Donations
In pursuit of our mission to promote, support and popularize literary diversity and inclusion, we support unpublished writers of multicultural literature for children to publish and disseminate their literary creations. Unpublished writers who have tried their hands at multicultural fiction or non-fiction finally have the opportunity to have their works appraised by our team of enthusiastic volunteers for publishing at no cost to them.
We implement a recurring BOOK DONATION PROGRAM targeting children in school and community settings. We reach out to these primary beneficiaries by giving them acces to books that we donate to school, community and municipal libraries that serve the communities they represent.
Our book donation program is presently limited to the state of Texas, with the focus area being the greater Austin metropolis. The program will be extended to other cities in due course.
All institutions that operate open access libraries for nonprofit purposes can make requests for free titles based on availability. Interested institutions should visit our website: www.mercurydtp.org for details about submitting requests for free books. Alternatively, they can make requests for copies by contacting us at [email protected]. They will need to state the name of your institution, the position the requestor occupies within the institution and the number of copies per book requested. Requests are limited to five (5) copies per selected title and are based on availability.
It should be borne in mind that Mercury Desk-Top Publishers do not handle, donate or otherwise deal with books produced by other publishers.
