Publishing Project Financial Analysis
ROTP has developed a tool for customers looking to embark on self-publishing a piece of work that assists them in assessing the projects financial viability. In simple terms, this analysis allows clients to ask a series of 'What If?' questions about the variables relating to a potential publishing project, such as the impact RRP, quantity of books printed, quantity of books sold, production services and marketing costs, distribution costs and other expenses will have on the projects overall bottom line. -
Project Management
Creating a publication involves a considerable amount of knowledge gathering, planning and consultation with stakeholders in order to ensure a superior finished product. We have an in-depth understanding of the publishing process, from the early stages of drafting and generating ideas to delivery and distribution. We assign a Project Manager to oversee projects, on a fixed or hourly rate, to ensure the process is smooth, effective and legally compliant.

Design and Desktop Publishing
From initial concepts to the finished design and layout of your publication, we have a highly skilled team of art directors, graphic designers, illustrators and desktop publishers on hand to ensure your project is visually engaging and appeals to your target market. We understand the importance and application of themes, layout, typeface selection, cover design, image quality and finished artwork for print. -
Copywriting, Editing and Proofreading
Some businesses drastically underestimate the importance of the copywriting, editing and proofing process in completing a publishing project. Published works that have not been correctly structured and cross-checked for spelling and grammatical errors are going to be seen as second-class works with reduced marketability. Our experienced team of copywriters and editors can fine-tune your text to maximise its appeal to customers and add value to your business.

Print Production
Printing books and other large-form publications in Australia can be a very expensive undertaking, often costing twice as much as many overseas printers. We have developed partnerships with printers in Asia, as well as in Australia, who specialise in high-quality print production for books and publications. Speak to us about quotes for a range of variable options such as print stock, finishing, packaging and delivery.
Please note, we are a publisher not a a printer and therefore if you do not require any additional services other than printing we recommend you deal directly with the printing companies themselves to expediate the process. - Legal Requirements
There are a number of legal and logistical requirements associated with the publishing process that can be easily forgotten or overlooked. Registration of an ISBN, coordination and production of barcodes, mailing of mandatory copies to the appropriate libraries and obtaining the necessary release agreements are just a few of these.
Ripe can manage all of the above with ease; simply ask us how.
