Pearl River Publishing was founded to support authors who are either working on a manuscript or who have finished their manuscripts and want to publish their books. We founded our company because we, like you, once had no idea where to turn or what to do at this point with our own books. We have extensive experience for each service we provide, and we want to help you—as we wanted to be helped when we were ready to publish.
We know your book is precious to you; it is a part of you that will live forever. Writing is your unique talent, and we want to help you make your manuscript as fine as it can be as a printed product. We will guide you along the way to help you produce a quality book that you can be proud of. We can also design your book cover
We offer several services to you. Any option will include formatting the interior of the book.
- Print on Demand — Most authors want to have their books “printed on demand.” Authors will provide Pearl River Publishing with an electronic file and can order as few or as many books as wanted.
- Format the interior of the book. When we format your book, you save on printing costs.
- Transcribe your handwritten or typed manuscript. All documents today are printed from an electronic format.
- Copyedit your manuscript — Many newspapers and magazine that review independently published books commonly say that the book “could have used a professional edit.” We have professional and experienced editors. Please be assured that our editors always respect an author’s work and will never try to rewrite your manuscript or change your meaning. They will (1) read the manuscript for content; (2) check for run-on sentences, wordiness, redundancy, and clarity; (3) insert questions into the electronic file for author decisions on changes that may be needed; (4) enter corrections directly into the electronic file; (5) query misused words.
Please note that copyediting includes the services listed in the“Proofreading” section.
- Proofread your manuscript — Proofread entire document, including cover and all prepages. Correct spelling errors. Correct punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and grammar errors. Before printing, review format of entire document for correctness and placement of inside titles, page numbers, and other material.
- Produce a professionally designed book cover comparable to others on the book market today. You may choose full color or black and white.
- Obtain ISBN and Library of Congress numbers.
- Obtain a barcode for the back cover.
- Print a proof copy for author’s approval before printing.
- List the book on such websites as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
- Construct a web page for authors to sell their books directly on the web.
Whether you want only a few books to give to your friends and relatives or a large number of books to sell, we can help. We know you want a book you can be proud of. If you are interested in working with us, please click here, fill out the form, and Dr. Solomon will be in touch with you immediately.
