Online Bookstores

from your website, complete with customer reviews, a press kit, a book preview, posted reviews, and a store.
Fairness, affordability, and customer satisfaction.
Kevin brings a personal touch and a speedy turnaround to the book-production process, whether you’re looking for a finished book, an e-book or ala carte services to complete your book project. Kevin’s business emerges during a time when scores of book authors are familiar with the frustrations associated with finding and signing on with a publisher. A growing number of writers are self-publishing books, but lack technical skills beyond completing the manuscript. Kevin specializes in all aspects of post-manuscript production. He’s a known and trusted entity in the writing community, has produced books for many clients, and his hallmark is fairness, affordability, and excellent customer satisfaction.
What past clients say:
"I recommend Kevin Rhoades as a person of professional achievement, high integrity and solid reliability with strong managerial experience and specialized skills. I have had the opportunity to observe his style and skill. His abilities at planning and organization are exemplary. He has a knack for knowing when and how to delegate while keeping track of developments and staying focused on the big-picture items. I recommend Kevin Rhoades without reservation."
- Tom Huggler
Writer, Book Author, Past President of Outdoor Writers Association of America
"I have worked with Kevin Rhoades on three book projects in which I was involved as the editor or author. He is skilled, hardworking, charges reasonable prices, and in all senses a pleasure to work with. Perhaps the highest praise I can offer is to say that I intend to turn to him for another book project I currently have under way."
- Jim Casada,
Freelance Writer and Book Author
"I'm a writer. I am NOT a book production guy. Thank goodness Kevin Rhoades is, and because of his diligence and professionalism, my last two books have looked like I paid somebody a million dollars to put them together for me. I paid Kevin way, way less than that, and it was money well spent. So well, if fact, that tomorrow morning I'm sending him the manuscript and art for the third book we'll be doing together. I have every confidence it will be top flight."
- Jim Spencer,
Author
"Kevin Rhoades did an exceptional job in the design and layout of my book, 'Neil Cost - Magic with Wood,' which was published by Long Cane Press. He did quality work, was easy to work with, excellent communications, fair and honest. I highly recommend Kevin for your next project."
- Michael F. Marks,
Author
"Kevin Rhoades has done all of the design and layout work on three of my books to date. So, You Want to hunt Turkeys, The Hunting Club Bible and Do You Enjoy God? Kevin is a pleasure to work with, prompt and in all things professional. His design and layout are flawless and are publish ready when he is done. I intend to use Kevin for all of my future projects, and you should too."
- Pete Rogers,
Freelance Writer, Book Author and Host of Christian Outdoors Podcast
“An accomplished writer and photographer in his own right, Kevin is also a gifted graphic designer. In 1992 I hired him to design my first book, “A Chukar Hunter’s Companion” and his work on that project contributed mightily to its success. I am now working on my second book and hope he will design it as well.”
- Pat Wray,
Freelance Writer and Book Author
“One word to describe the relationship with Kevin Rhoades was confidence in his work. Another was responsibility of follow-through when he took the job and promised a good outcome. Kevin is easy to work with by mail or phone, the book was well done, and the layout excellent. My book was well received with lots of favorable comments in large part due to excellent formatting.”
- Harold Duebbert
Author, “Wildfowling in Dakota 1873-1903”
