Formatting and Publishing Services
RMK Publications is owned by Rose Marie Kern. The company provides some proofreading services as well as formatting for authors who wish to self-publish. We can format your finished manuscript and create a cover for print and/or eBook on KDP Amazon, Ingram Spark or 48 Hour books. We will assist you in creating your own account with those organizations, copyrighting, ISBNs and uploading the final product.
The initial consultation either in person, via zoom, or over the phone is free of charge. The initial discussion goes over the expected timeline and formatting specifics requested by the author. This will be followed by a formal memorandum of understanding concerning the book.
RMK charges $30 per hour plus tax with a payment of $120 in advance. The average time a 6×9 fiction/non-fiction book of 300 pages or less with no special design requirements takes for final proofing, formatting and uploading is around 10 hours. Adding text boxes, links, reference pages, needing to assist authors in creating author pages, websites or setting up their accounts with the printing services or making frequent edits by the author and a lot of photo inserts increases the time needed, as do extra services such as book cover designs. RMK bills at the end of each month and will provide a detailed hourly charge analysis.
Author will work closely with RMK to create the information required for the author’s marketing and sales purposes. This may include allowing us temporary access to the online account. If requested we will initialize the interface with the chosen printer/distributor. Once the project is complete, RMK will destroy any account information in our files and authors are encouraged to change their passwords. All royalties resulting from sales of the book through Amazon are property of the Author.
RMK guarantees that the book will be uploaded and completed in a timely manner as long as the author has given her all materials and information needed to format and upload the manuscript. We can also help with setting up a personal website and/or creating author pages on Amazon.
Authors may choose to have their books promoted on the RMK website. Author can have their own page on the website and book cover on the home page carousel.
