The ideal partnership relationship continues long beyond the publication of the first book. It is important for the publisher to maintain communication with the author, provide updates on sales information, get reader responses, and talk about future plans. As part of the book publishing Hamilton process, creating loyalty among local authors may result in the creation of a powerful collection of local voices in the long run. Acknowledging milestones and providing professional development are just some ways of fostering the relationship between the two parties. The partnership that is based on mutual respect works out for both parties involved.
