The Red Barn Publishing Process

Red Barn operates like traditional publishing houses in that we pay royalties to authors through book sales.

To make all of this work, we tap into existing infrastructure, using the Amazon Book platform. Printing and fulfillment are all through the platform, which we have optimized to the author’s advantage.

Every submission will be read and discussed amongst the editorial team and a decision will then be made whether or not to publish the book under the Red Barn Publishing label.

Red Barn books are completed, perfected and then published and available through Amazon Books and bookstores. Bookstores may also purchase through the distributors, once the book is published.
