Dumpy Dog Creations is an online store that sells art, books, and gift items.

Dumpy Dog Creations also designs print, digital, audio, and video experiences. We can produce your project for you or assist you with the parts of your project that you don’t know how to do or don’t want to do.

Publishing

Dumpy Dog Creations is now accepting manuscripts for review. We publish general fiction, educational material, foreign language texts, and children’s books. We pay royalties of up to 40% depending on the condition and selling potential of the manuscript. You may submit text files of sample chapters with your full contact information to manuscript@dumpydog.com.

Book Services for Independent Authors

We provide page design and typesetting services for independent authors. You can hire Dumpy Dog Creations to make a table of contents or custom cover for your work. We can do everything for you or only parts of your book.

Use our expertise to write and get your projects published!

We also produce audio books, videos, and presentation materials (electronic or hard copy).

Our consultation service is like having your own personal “publishing coach.” We can answer your questions about many topics:

• Publishing in general
  • Printing
  • Electronic media (streaming video, audio, ebooks)
  • Genre
  • Titles
• Best practices
  • Writing process (audience analysis, planning, and writing skills)
  • Editing (developmental or copy)
  • Translation (process and connections with translators)
• Marketing (planning, follow through, and evaluation)

We can also help you wrangle with publishing applications or overcome writer’s block. We’d love to help you plan and storyboard your first project.

Consultation is by appointment (minimum one hour) and can be provided in person, through Skype, or by phone. All consultations are strictly confidential. If you need help that we cannot provide, we will refer you to another qualified writing, printing, or publishing professional.
