SERVICES
OFFERED
- Professional
Publishing Packages
We offer complete prepress and composition services including copyediting,
indexing, art preparation, cover design and proofreading from your
electronic manuscript. Our packaging service saves publishers' time and
in-house expense of raw manuscript preparation, streamlining and
accelerating the process of getting the product to market.
- Packages Plus
Our professional Publishing Packages Plus are an editor's dream. Unlike
dealing with an agent, where a high price is paid for a raw manuscript,
editors can fill all their needs at affordable rates with our services. R.
Dodge Woodson is not a literary agency, nor a prepress and composition
service alone. R. Dodge Woodson is a hybrid business that makes publishing easier
than its ever been before. Publishers and editors can choose from a host
of authors who have desirable credentials and receive a complete,
printer-ready book package. We eliminate headaches like missed deadlines,
inadequate manuscripts or the need for additional in-house staff.
