About PleasantValleyPress.net
We are a small print-on-demand publishing company. If you noticed the banner, it clearly reads "Limited Print-on-Demand Publishing." What are we limiting and why?
We are currently accepting only a select few new manuscripts for publication. We only ask that you notify us in advance that you would like to submit your manuscript for consideration. We will continue to provide other services such as editing and design.
Please use the form on the Contact page to notify us that you would like to submit a manuscript, and be sure to download and read our Submission Guidelines.
If you're looking for a print-on-demand full-service publisher...
There are many print-on-demand publishing companies who offer full services. We recommend that you do a bit of research and compare their services. They can provide interior and cover design of your book. Once you turn your manuscript over to them, they will certainly save you time by taking care of most of the details like obtaining copyrights, ISBN numbers, and bar codes. They'll even provide marketing materials, but after the initial publication, continued marketing and promotion is always the author's responsibility.
One Caution: make sure, before you sign on with anyone, that their contract is non-exclusive. A non-exclusive contract means that you keep all rights to your intellectual property and can sell it independently, publish it again with another publisher, etc. Also, check to see how many booksellers—online and traditional—will receive notification that your book has been published; the more the merrier!
