“I published fourteen books in the traditional manner. Then I found Kimberly Martin and Jera Publishing. Kimberly knows more about every aspect of publishing than any person I have ever dealt with in New York City. My experience with her company has been outstanding in every respect. Frankly, I don’t know how she masters so many arcane editing, formatting, publishing, and marketing details. If you are thinking of publishing your book independently, you will find no better person and no better company. I would recommend her company and her services without reservation.”

How it works

Ready to submit your order? Here is what to expect.

Choose your package and submit your deposit

Browse through our offerings and choose the package that is right for you. If you have any questions, you can contact us at mail@jerapublishing.com, or use the form on this page.  After selecting your package, click on the order button and submit your deposit. The remaining balance of your work will not be due until we have completed your work and the print-ready files are ready to submit.

Fill out a questionnaire and send in your manuscript

After we receive your deposit, we will email you a link to fill out a questionnaire about your book and instructions on how to send us your manuscript and any other files we will need to complete your book design.

Your cover and interior concepts will be created

Your designer(s) will review your material and questionnaire and create concepts for your review of both your interior, and cover. A design consultation will also be scheduled, either via phone or video conference, to discuss the concepts with your designer. Following the consult, a second round of concepts will be created if needed.

Your entire manuscript will be formatted

Once you approve an interior concept, your entire manuscript will be formatted. When it is completed, you will receive a PDF of your formatted manuscript for review.

Request any needed corrections

If any corrections are needed to your book, such as a typo you missed in editing, you will be asked to use our Correction Request Form. We will apply the corrections to your formatted manuscript and send a new PDF to review.

Your full cover spread will be finalized

When your interior is approved (and the final page count known) your full cover spread with the font, back, and spine, will be set to your printer’s requirements.

Your eBook files will be created

After the interior and cover have been approved, your book will be converted into an eBook format. It will be converted into both an ePub and MOBI eBook file format. We will also test your eBook on various eBook readers to make sure it works and looks good across different devices.

Your book will be submitted for you

Once everything is finalized, and the final balance on your account is paid, we will submit your book files to your account at your printer and distributor (Amazon KDP and/or IngramSpark) and submit your eBook files (to Amazon KDP and/or IngramSpark). We will need your account information to do so. Instructions for setting up these accounts will be sent to you when your order is placed and we will be available to answer questions you might have about setting up your accounts.

You retain all rights and 100% royalties

When you use our services, we do not claim any rights to your work, or the designs we create for you. Once we submit your files to the printer, we do not take any cut of the profits when the book is sold. You will receive payments for books sold directly from your book distributor per their agreements with you.
