HOW IT WORKS
WHAT WE DO
Once you submit a synopsis of your manuscript, CKR Publishing will assess this and send you a written response within two to four weeks. The outcome:
Yes, we like your submission and would be happy to read your entire book.
Judging from your submission, your book needs more work, we would make some recommendations and a quote will be given.
If we choose to read your entire work, we are one step closer to publishing your work. What does this involve?
-
Editing of your work (if not already completed)
-
Cover design and size of book
-
Formatting your book. Recommendations will be made depending on the complexity of your book. Is it text only or does it include images? Is it a simple black and white format or are you incorporating colours?
These and other questions will be answered in the assessment.
Once your book is ready
for publishing we will:
-
Discuss print options. Through our local printers we can offer book quantities as little as 50 or as much as 5,000. Print on demand options are also available.
-
Enter your book onto our website.
-
Send news out to our database of book-lovers about the release of your exciting new book.
-
Include your book on our newsletters to bookstores and libraries throughout Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.
- Email bloggers, podcasters and book reviewers regarding your newly released book.
-

although don’t panic if it is a few over or even a lot less. Once we have read this we will get back to you letting you know
