Editorial Services

We offer professional editorial services including substantive editing, copy editing, and proofreading. You have full control of your content and approve each change before it is made.

Cover & Page Design

People really do judge a book by its cover, and a professionally designed cover is essential to attract readers. Our excellent design staff creates timeless, eye-catching covers, and brings experience and a fresh look to your book’s page design.

ISBNs/Barcodes

We can assign your book an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and provide a barcode.

Printing

To produce our clients’ books and calendars, we use the same renowned printers as Farcountry Press, our parent company. Your book will be of the same quality as the books you see on the bookstore shelves.

Ebooks

We can also convert your print book into an Ebook.

Distribution & Marketing

For our distribution clients, we make your book available through major U.S. wholesalers (Ingram and Baker & Taylor), regional distributors around the nation, local bookstores, museums, gift shops, online retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Farcountry Press, and in the Farcountry Press catalog. We also send out press releases for your book to a variety of media outlets, depending on the book, and our sales representatives will present your title to their buyers.

We also store your books in our secure warehouse, process and ship orders, and provide quarterly sales statements.
