than your local print shop.
Many writers in South Dakota have been having their local print shop print their books for them. They are conveniently located, friendly, and inexpensive.
We like printers, too, but Tesseract Publications wants you to know a few of the benefits you will get by having us publish your books. We offer many services that are designed to meet your needs as a writer who wants a well-produced book. We even help you sell your books. And we're friendly, too.?
Nobody knows rejection like the unacknowledged South Dakota writer. Nobody understands that like Tesseract Publications. We ourselves have experienced it, and we decided to do something about it. We started a publishing company that specializes in publishing books by Regional Writers. For our booklist, we take five books on consignment, and if and only if we sell them, we take 40% of the retail price of books sold. Around January 1 we pay for books sold and account for the number left. Think about it. What printer that you know of will do that??
Composition of books on site
Our system has hundreds of fonts to make your book look exactly like you want it. Two books of poetry listed on the book list use many of the fonts, A Classical Garden and Under the Gun by Helen Forelle have examples of poems set in many of the available fonts. And there is no more waiting for a typesetter to do expensive typesetting and layout, we do it in one step. We offer experienced proofreaders so you won't have embarrassing typos and spelling errors.?
Copyright-Listings-Library of Congress Catalog Number
Our authors have the benefit of these and more. We are solicited by a number of listings for specialized publication areas. You could be losing visibility and sales because nobody knows about you!?
Indexing
Tesseract Publications is experienced in indexing. As project director and managing editor of A Sixty Year Comprehensive Index of Pasque Petals, 1926-1986 and compiler of annual indices, we have the expertise to index your book.?
Publicity
Some of the things we have done are: getting reviews by a competent reviewer, sending review copies to newspapers that publish reviews, announcing your new book on public radio, getting interviews on TV and radio.?
Reasonable Prices
Because we work with state of the art equipment and the best printers available, we keep our prices low. There is no charge for estimates. Just contact us at tesseract@poetic.com and ask. Compare us to your previous printer. You'll be surprised how competitive we are
