Chapbooks
"Membership has its privileges" is an old cliche with a new twist for members of Rockford Writers' Guild.
The twist is called "Rockford Writers' Guild Press." That means members may now publish inexpensve Chapbooks under the auspices of the Guild -- but with the same quality they've come to expect from Rockford Review.
Specifically, the Guild has worked out a special discount package with the printer who has produced Rockford Review for 20 years.
That package is available to members on a first come - first serve basis. In other words, Chapbooks will be published in the order that the Guild receives them.
Guild members who are interested in publishing their Chapbooks may request a quote sheet that will describe various options and related production costs.
As a guideline, 100 Chapbooks of 40 pages in perfect bound format could cost as little as $720. Prices go up or down from there depending on clients' customized specifications.
To request a quote sheet, e-mail daveconnieross@aol.com. Based on the order of responses, Chapbook copy & art submitted with a deposit will be scheduled for publication.
Please be reminded that this Chapbook opportunity is limited to Guild members who are in good standing with regard to their dues.
Sincerely,
--David Ross

"I never thought publishing would be so easy. In a few timely e-mails, RWG Press explained exactly what I needed to do to get the bare bones price for 100 copies offered in their brochure. I am so happy with the results. Turnaround was quick and hot off the press I sold several copies of Letters from the Queen and Other Gems, a chapbook filled with my published letters to the editors of major NY newspapers, which includes short essays on what prompted me to write."
--Melanie Coronetz
New York, NY
"I had the pleasure to use RWG Press chapbook service for my collection of poetry The Devil's Advocate. I couldn't be happier with the final product. The service was superior: the quality was more than I could have expected, the turnaround much quicker than I could have hoped for, and the cost was well within my budget. Thanks to RWG Press, my dream of putting the collection together became a reality."
--Charles Portolano
Fountain Hills, AZ
"Costs were as expected for my RWG Press chapbook Beginnings and Endings. Proofreaders caught many errors, corrected them and returned my copy for comparison. E-mail questions were answered within 24 hours. Excellent service!"
--Joyce Sandeen Johnson
Urbana, IL
"RWG Press turned my dramatization Apple Stars and Family Trees into perfectbound play books quickly with no problems. The books are attractive and just what I envisioned to feature my East Friesen Women's Journeys to Midwestern Prairie."
--Esther Buskohl
Mount Morris, IL
"If you want to learn something about self-publishing, RWG chapbook is a good way to go. Cost is not too high and turnaround time is the best I've seen."
--Bruce Muench
