Producing Your Book

You're ready to publish your book!

Congratulations for writing your book. It was probably hard work and took many hours, but now you're ready to finish things up so that you can begin offering your book to people who will want a copy.

Most of the projects that come to Griffith Publishing are in this category—ready to put together so they can be taken to market.

Our pre-production services include editing at the level your book requires, cover design, and page design. We also give you complimentary advice about any topic related to publishing or marketing your book.

Our information packet is available online as a pdf file. Study this information and when you're ready for a proposal, complete the pdf request for proposal form available online and included in the packet. Send it to Griffith Publishing, PO Box 247, Caldwell, ID 83606, or call us at 208 454-9553 with the required information.

Here's what we we need to start work on your book:

A signed written agreement based on your "request for proposal"
Your manuscript, preferably in Word
Any illustrations you want in your book, with instructions about where they should be placed
A payment of one-third or more of the total amount for your publishing project

We'd like to talk to you before you send us your book so that we can talk about your plans for the book and let you know if we can meet your production schedule and other requirements. We cannot accept the book if we feel the content is too raw or our schedule is too tight for us to handle, and we'd like to let you know that before you send the manuscript to us. Be sure to call us at 800 359-9503 to discuss your book.
