Welcome to Riverside Publications

Riverside Publications is the Self Publisher's Publisher.  Riverside provides free initial consultation and guidance, and thereafter addresses all needs desired by the author.

Publication of documents can be expensive, and all too often the efforts of the author are unrecognized and unprofitable. Perhaps the most important learning that an author may possess is that the "author is the primary marketing instrument for the book." Strategies are endless, but time is the enemy.  Non-fiction books quickly become obsolete as new findings, facts, or references emerge.  The author of a fiction book soon learns that distribution and interest are keys to success. The author will be the responsible party for the success or failure of any extended writing activity.  The importance of preparing up front for selling the book cannot be overestimated.

Many products are available to guide the author in this process, and many of them are available without charge.  New authors are encouraged to join the Riverside team early and form a team for the marketing of the book.
