Getting STARTED

Home

Graduated Magna Cum Laude from Penn State University, PA. Worked in the Geology Department at Penn State and published an article in Dr. Barry Voight's Book "Rock Mechanics, The American Northwest."

After moving to Oneonta, NY she opened a copy service which grew to a full-fledged print shop. After owning and managing the shop for about 30 years, it was sold and she now consults with authors wishing to prepare books for publishing.

Barbara Dauria

She presents talks on the "Pathways to Publishing" explaining the different avenues, from courting publishers, large and small, to finding an agent, or managing the publishing project on your own.

One-on-one consulting is available for writers desiring some guidance while working through the process. Much time can be saved by avoiding the missteps so many new authors make when it's the first time through the process.

The booklets here FREE and for a SMALL FEE help an author to work through the process without incurring the expense that the subsidy publishers require. Authors can complete a professional book project and maintain the largest possible royalties for themselves.

Some Books Available
on Amazon

Consider the Amazon Kindle - the new way to read books - and to SELL yours! We can show you how - or do it for you.

Our Mission :

To guide and support aspiring authors through the process of publishing: It could be:
• Help courting an agent or publisher, (Where to find and how to recruit your publisher).
• Describing ways you can manage publishing yourself, (It's not difficult!)
• Preparing your book for reproduction - to printer's specifications - saves time and money.
• Designing a professional and UNIQUE cover, for the most shelf appeal.
• Help listing your book as available, (Where and how – We can show you how, or do it for you.)
• Guide you through the marketing steps to help you sell more books.
• And showing you how to distribute your book once it's printed.

Without taking any of your book royalties or profits!

You'll have the opportunity to make the most money back on your investment.

All our services are charged BY TIME or PROJECT, no percentage or commission is taken. So once you have your books to sell - the most percentage of profit is YOURS!

And we don't mind helping with only one or two aspects of the job. You can prepare it yourself, find your own printer, design your own cover, or do any part of the job you'd like, saving money.
We can help show you how to do the parts you want to do yourself, and we can do other parts for you when you'd rather save your time for writing.
