The RDG BOOKS PRESS process

You Submit Your Story

An author may submit ONE story to any open category. Currently, Horror Short Story, and Horror Novella. You can submit one story to either or both.

Simultaneous submissions are fine. We have no commitment until contract is signed. Once we sign a contract, you have committed to publishing your story as stated in contract.

All submitted stories must be in Word, Times New Roman, 12, Double Spaced.

Your Story Got Accepted!

What happens next? First, you will be offered a contract. Once we are signed, we go to work!

Novella or Novel: You will be assigned a RDG BOOKS Full-Service Editor free of charge. Must successfully complete the editing process to move on. This is to make sure your story is the very best it can be. Then, on to production.

Short Stories: A RDG BOOKS editor will perform a Line edit on the work, to be sure it is clean, then on to production.

Production

When editing is done, production department takes over. We will format the interior of the book to optimize appearance.

Novella or Novel: RDG BOOKS artists will provide three completely different cover concepts – author will choose one. We will make any tweaks that are needed. Then, both eBook and Paperback covers will be created.

Short Stories: The title and cover of the book will be determined by the stories which are to be in it. RDG BOOKS artists will create the cover.

The Next Steps

The Book is Ready!

We confirm all metadata, back cover blurb, front/back matter, is good to go.

All books published by RDG BOOKS PRESS will be listed for sale on our website, Amazon, and D2D – multiple stores and the library system.

It is our goal to have a book published within 1 year of the date the contract was signed. Big 5, and many other publishers take considerably longer to do this.

Marketing / Publicity

It is well known, these days, that to maximize sales, an author must market and/or promote their book.

You will not be alone in this! RDG BOOKS will do the following, and more!

  • Produce and share across our entire platform a book trailer.
  • Produce and share an announcement video that the book is coming available, then another video when it is available.
  • We are learning as we go, but we will help our authors as much as possible, as new ways present themselves.

Our Commitment

We at RDG BOOKS PRESS are fully committed to providing the very best possible experience for our authors. You are never alone, we are here!

We will make the book the very best that it can be, publish it wide, and do all that we can to help the author get the book known.

We consider EVERY author we work with to be a lifetime client, and we are dedicated to providing superior, professional service from start to finish, and beyond!

We hope very much that you will entrust us with your stories, and know that you are in good hands.
