Caldaia Books is currently developing their website. It should be up in two or three weeks. And by the way, the presence of a website does not mean the website is genuine. That said, I can assure nairalanders Caldaia Books is genuine. I also think an enlightenement on the issue of copyright is in order. Once you write something, you automatically get copyright on it. All this ideas of copyright infringement are pretty baselesss. How many people have you heard of that had their copyright stolen?

You can't just come here wanting people to take you serious, with only an email to show that you exist. Folks just treat writers like they are desperados who will just send their material to anyone who asks, just to get published. I think it's only fair to ask for more proof that you are genuine. Why not wait for your "website" to be up and going before you solicit for manuscripts?

maedan thanks for helping me make my point. no office address, no physical proof, just hey! come and submit your books

No probs, I get really annoyed when people just come here and use this online medium to raise false hopes. I'm a writer, I'd love to get published too, but I don't appreciate cheap "calls for submission". The Literature/Writing forum is a distinguished part of NL and people shouldn't use it to spam/deceive writers.
