Q&A

Over 50 years of experience to guide you

Finding the right publisher is like shopping for a shirt. There are lots of them out there, but when you find the right one—and it fits just so—life is very good. But these days the sorting out of all the players in the world of books just gets all the more complicated. We invite you to consider our small firm for the following reasons: 

• We believe in keeping business relationships simple. Building on a high level of communication and clarity is the groundwork for successful publishing.

• We treat each book we publish individually, with care, and accuracy. No templates, no shortcuts, no “good enough.”

• Our business arrangements are clearly defined, incorporate great respect for the author, and are targeted for mutual success.

• We are able to offer understandable and effective assistance to authors with self-publishing, just the graphic design of covers and content, or consultation through the intricate world of printing and eBook production and distribution.

• We have established some of the best networking available. Through working with talented and constructive editors and publicists, high-level designers and illustrators, and only the best quality printers, our authors experience professional leadership.

We will answer all emails received. If you are interested in possibly working with RiverPlace Press, let’s visit.

Testimonials

“RiverPlace Press designed the artwork for my novel, as well as the cover layout.. You can imagine how important this was to me. Not only did they know their craft, but they grasped mine, as well. My book explores the intersection of things visible and things that lie behind, and the cover reflects that line with mysterious mirrored images. With technical know-how, artistry, and intuition, RiverPlace brought into being the cover I’d dreamed.”

Donna Salli, Author of A Notion of Pelicans
