FAQs

How does the book publication process work?

 

Groundmark press provides complete book publishing services, we encourage our clients to participate in the cover and text design process. We can scan and insert photos and graphics and create indexes. Once your text and book cover files are designed, you will receive proofs ready for your feedback, corrections, and ready for approval. The picking off the process continues until you are satisfied. The final camera-ready files are then sent to the printer who prints, binds, and ships the books to your selected location. At that point we can help with marketing and distribution for your book.

 

How do you come up with a book’s cover design?

 

Groundmark press listens carefully when you describe what you’d like your book cover to look like. If you have photos or artwork that you would like incorporated, we will use them. If your only instruction is to reflect upon the subject and tone of your book, we can create preliminary cover designs and then let you decide which direction to go. We strongly believe that a book is judged by its cover and we will do everything we can to provide a cover that not only pleases you, but motivates book sales.

 

Once my book project is complete, who owns the rights?

 

You do. You, as the author, own all rights to your work. If an agent or editor approaches you and offers to re-publish your book, you are free to enter into a contract with them.

 

How long does it take to publish a book?

 

The time required for your manuscript is in when we receive it. Handwritten, typewritten, or audio files will need to be converted to computer files before book design can begin. If your manuscript is already in a computer file format and needs only to be proofread, then it generally takes about month to secure the required book registrations, design the text, and produce options for the book cover. If it takes two or three drafts to incorporate text changes, then add a few weeks. Printing and delivery of the books takes another three to six weeks. We suggest you realistically plan on three to four months from start to finish.

 

How many books should I print?

 

That answer will be determined during our initial free consultation or during the production process, depending on your individual goals. We can accommodate any size print run from 1 copy to 10,000.
