Established in 1998, Elderberry Press provides customized print and digital publishing services for authors. We coordinate the people, processes, and production details required to move manuscripts from initial preparation through design, publication, distribution, and ongoing support.
Every book has its own creative goals and technical requirements. Our approach combines professional publishing experience with direct, personalized collaboration, allowing each project to be developed around the needs of the author and the publication.
Guidance From Manuscript to Publication
Publishing a book involves a series of creative, editorial, technical, and production decisions. We help authors understand what is needed at each stage and create a clear path from manuscript preparation through final publication.
Authors work directly with Asia St John as their main point of contact throughout the project. She helps clients understand the process, make informed decisions, and know what to expect next. From organizing reviews and approvals to coordinating revisions and resolving production questions, Asia provides consistent guidance as each book moves through the publishing process.
How We Coordinate Publishing Projects
Depending on the needs of each publication, Elderberry Press coordinates editors, proofreaders, designers, illustrators, printers, distributors, and other publishing specialists and service providers.
Authors receive a central point of contact throughout the project, while the appropriate contributors and vendors are coordinated across manuscript preparation, editorial review, design, production, approval, and distribution.
This structure provides authors with personalized guidance while keeping responsibilities, decisions, files, revisions, and production requirements organized from one stage to the next.
Through careful planning and coordination, Elderberry Press helps ensure that the finished book reflects the author’s vision and stays on schedule for its planned release and related marketing or book-signing events.
