Head of Zeus is an award-winning publisher specialising in genre fiction, narrative nonfiction, and children’s books. Since its inception in 2012, the company has grown to achieve 93 #1 bestsellers worldwide and earned 21 literary prizes. It joined the Bloomsbury family in 2021 and continues as a lover of great storytelling, committed to publishing beautiful books across its six imprints.
As a burgeoning publishing house in 2012, Head of Zeus faced significant challenges. They needed to quickly convert approximately 60 titles purchased from the USA into eBooks to enter the market and generate revenue. However, as digital publishing was a new trend, the team had a considerable knowledge gap regarding eBook production. The rapid growth of the eBook market presented both an opportunity and a logistical challenge.
The collaboration with Siliconchips began when Head of Zeus was intrigued by the offer of a “next day” eBook service. That chance encounter led to Siliconchips providing comprehensive copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, and conversion services, effectively filling the knowledge gap and enabling Head of Zeus to capitalise on the eBook market boom. That initial project turned into a partnership that remains strong over a decade later.
Siliconchips’ expertise and commitment have been instrumental in Head of Zeus’s success. They have supported the publishing house in transforming titles into high-quality eBooks efficiently, ensuring a quick market entry. The flexibility and client-first approach of the Siliconchips team allowed Head of Zeus to manage extensive projects without resource concerns, contributing significantly to their rapid growth and sustained success.
By fostering a caring and collaborative relationship, Siliconchips became an extension of the Head of Zeus team, ensuring smooth operations and the seamless handling of any challenges. This trust-based partnership has helped Head of Zeus maintain its competitive edge and aligns with their vision of merging traditional publishing with cutting-edge technology.
Shahid and his team treated me and my publishing project as if they were their most important responsibility, even though I knew my book was a very small job for them. The level of detail, passion for their work, and professionalism they brought was impressive, and I felt throughout our engagement that I was in the very best of hands. The outcome is a beautiful book that meets all of my publishing needs perfectly, and presents me in a truly sophisticated way.
Shahid and his team have earned my highest esteem and recommendation.
I am very grateful to my friend Geoff Hudson- Searle, who introduced me to Shahid Chowdhary, Founder and CEO of Siliconchips Services.
Shahid’s personal touch, along with his dedicated team, pulled together My “Tall Tree Sculpture Series” manuscript into an outstanding digital book. As an artist, I was amazed with how they edited and enhanced my artistic visions.
Thank you for your expertise and patience in making the numerous changes and revisions to bring this project to fruition.
