Publishing Resources

Because our company has "Publishing" in the name, we are often asked about book publishing. Though the founder is a published author and is active in the writing community, we aren't actually in the business of publishing books! However, we do have plenty of resources for you.

Book Manuscript Services

 

If you have a manuscript that you would like to have edited or critiqued, Andrea Hurst offers a variety of related services for writers.

 

 

Sacramento-Area Publishing Resources

 

Northern California Publishers and Authors is an association that meets on the second Saturday each month. The purpose of this group is to allow members to share resources and education. Membership is open to published and aspiring authors, publishers and other industry professionals.
