RBS Publishing provides the publishing expertise and experience in bringing stories, instructional information and enlightenment to life.

We provide the following services to the general book-writing public:

EDITING SERVICES: We provide 3 tiers of editing services. (1) Basic look & feel. Spell checking. Grammar checking. Form. (2) Advanced Idea & Plot flow. We identify issues within your writing beyond surface issues. Plot holes. Idea flow. Irrational and incongruent argumentation. We identify. You rewrite. (3) Brainstorming. We help you overcome any mental and writer's block you may be experiencing.

Overall, you should consider using AI to edit for you at this time. Much is free, and for basic editing, AI can do a fine job for you. Our more advanced editing may be helpful to you though.

E-BOOK CONVERSIONS: I'm going to be blunt here. Without experience, converting a book (especially a novel, fiction piece, or anything with graphics or images) to an e-book is a royal pain in the arse! You'd think that technology would be doing it for us 100%. But there is much prep you must do to prepare a writing to be converted into an e-book (digital product) which is essentially a web-page, which can be then read by an e-reader or web-browser or other such application. It is helpful if you know HTML. But that is just part of the problem. We can provide that service, if you are stuck and need help.

PRINT BOOK CONVERSION: Conversely, if you have written a book as an e-book, then you have kept it very simple, and without much formatting. If you desire to then see your writing be turned into a formally formatted print-book, we can help you there as well. We can save you time. If you've written a book, then you are certainly capable of formatting it. We use Adobe InDesign as the professional tool to format our print books. Again, if you are not experienced with using InDesign, the learning curve can be torturous, only because it functions quite differently than a traditional word processor, and so it will take you some time to learn, let alone master. If you want a short-cut, we can help you there as well.

MARKETING: More than anything else, everyone needs "marketing" to get their books "moved &/or sold". Today's world is much different than years past. In my lifetime alone, I have seen the industry turn from (A) exclusively print-books going through large publishing houses, to (B) internet driven e-books, and the rise of digital retail giants, such as Amazon (Kindle reader) and Barnes & Noble (Nook Reader). In both of those paradigms (A&B), we the small guys (individual writers) were at the mercy of the giant primadonnas. But now we have (c) Self-Publishing, which puts us more in control than ever before. However, there is now more on our plates as well. Yesterday, we wrote the book and hoped that a Publishing House would pick us up. Very few writers were actually successful at that. But today, you can publish your own book, so you "pick yourself up". And you can do so without having to print 10,000+ copies up front. And also without having to go through the giant digital retailers. But there's a catch! (There's always a catch!) You have to do the job that the Publishing Houses and Amazon did for you: MARKETING!

If your book fits our values, then we can put it on our shelf. But that's not marketing. And you can put your book on many other shelves, such as Lulu's Book Store, which is the printer we go through routinely. If you print through them, they will put your book on their shelf right away, and you retain greater control than going with the longer established shelves. But again, that's not marketing.

You have to do things. Things that will get your book noticed ... by people who would be interested in your particular book. For that, there are two sets of activities that you must do. Number One, there are general types of things, and a certain set of activities that you can and should do. These are the same for everyone. But that leads us to the REAL DIFFICULTY with marketing. Number Two, having the WISDOM to know what to say, where to say it, and when to keep saying it. Yeah - I know - really helpful - you're welcome. <smile> The point is that we can help you. But it won't be easy. You have to do most of the work. Why? Because it is very specific to YOUR BOOK / WRITING. And if we did the work, you'd never make any money. We would. Cause you'd pay us ... alot. Too much.

We are working on a how-to book and a general system for you, so you can just follow the steps, but with you doing the specific work of generating marketing copy and images and video etc. yourself. But it's not finalized yet. Sorry. We're working on it, and we'll let you know.

Thanks for your patience.

And God bless your endeavors.
