Professional project managers, typesetters, proofreaders, designers, indexers, and printers make certain that your knowledge is presented in the best possible light. Our team produces products that are attractive, distinctive, and of good value.
Personalized Service
At rapidBOOKS, a project editor guides the development and production of your book and works closely with you from the time your book contract is signed until the finished product is delivered to readers. rapidBOOKS staff members supervise the copy editing, design, typesetting, proofreading, indexing, and all other production details necessary to produce a quality product. We know what stage the book is in at all times and guide you through the process of peer reviews, editing, obtaining permissions, reviewing page proofs, and any other task that may arise. In addition, we review all designs and read final pages of every book.
Quick Response Time
With many publishers, you can often expect to wait over a year to see your completed manuscript become a published book. At rapidBOOKS, we strive to place your well-researched and carefully organized information into readers’ hands in less than a year, and in cases of quick book series, less than six months. Development and production times vary with the size of the book, author’s schedule, and complexity of material and review, among other factors, but we guarantee that our response time will be better than the industry average.
Financial Advantage
rapidBOOKS offers competitive royalties. Our standard royalty rates range from 30 percent up to 47 percent. Royalties are paid immediately in the first quarter after your book has been released and are never tied up in repayment of production costs, such as indexing or routine permission fees.
A Strong Network of Connections
Our professional marketing team starts working for your book as soon as you return our author questionnaire. We write a customized plan for every book, targeting the technology audience in a way no other publisher can. As an active member in the technology and open source communities, rapidBOOKS has direct access to software and technology professionals across the globe and can provide both general and specialized information to technology professionals, students, and instructors. Whether it is through targeted social media campaigns, press releases, cover testimonials, or interviews, you can be certain that your book will be marketed creatively and professionally. Through our relationships with other book distributors across the globe, we reach out to many potential readers from around the world.
