Publish With Us
At Peter E. Randall Publisher, we offer a personal service for each client, ensuring that each book produced is of the highest quality. We provide editing, indexing, cover design, typesetting, printing and binding. We consult with each author or group, from the early stages of manuscript preparation, and continue working closely from the first page proof, until bound books arrive. Our titles are available from major book wholesalers such as Baker & Taylor and Ingram. We offer national distribution through an order fulfillment service, supported by sales activities. We provide a contract and develop a publication plan for each client. Each book is designed individually, to the client’s specifications.
The details of each project dictate the cost of each publication. We provide complete publication services in the four major areas:
Manuscript Preparation
We provide both developmental editing and copyediting online or in hard copy, detailed indexing, proofreading and keyboarding when needed.
Book Design
Our experienced book designers offer creative, eye-catching design that showcases the content for interior pages and covers. Once design is approved, we create the book files in a professional layout program called InDesign. We specialize in image preparation and placement. Our files match printer specifications.
Printing & Binding
Our goal is creating high-quality bound books, by choosing the appropriate paper and binding materials, as well as the best printer for each project. Our jackets or covers are glossy or matte; they can include spot varnish or embossing.
Marketing & Distribution
We provide order fulfillment and shipping through our distribution partners, catalog mailings, print-to-order, audio book and e-book programs. Through Blueline Publicity we create marketing plans, write news releases, seek reviews, create promotional websites, book trailers, and provide title metadata to book distributors. We design and place advertising and coordinate promotional mailings. When making plans to publish, consideration must be given to each of these areas.
