A masterpiece is never rushed—it is crafted with intention. Our process ensures that your book’s
illustrations are
nothing short of extraordinary.
The journey begins with an in-depth discussion about your creative vision. We listen intently to your ideas, ensuring every illustration aligns with your story’s tone, atmosphere, and style. To refine the details, we provide a questionnaire where you can specify character descriptions, color preferences, and pivotal scene highlights.
Your book deserves an artist whose style resonates with its essence. Based on your vision, we carefully select an illustrator from our distinguished team. If you prefer to explore options, we’ll provide samples of various artistic styles for your consideration. Before proceeding, we also share an initial sketch—so you can be certain the artistic direction aligns with your expectations
Once paired with an illustrator, the creative process begins:
With the initial direction approved, we move to the black-and-white phase—outlining every illustration with precision. You will receive:
Once satisfied with the sketches, the illustrations transition into their final, full-color form. Our artists meticulously:
Our world-class illustrators craft visuals that are both breathtaking and emotionally resonant. Whether you need charming children’s book illustrations or dramatic, immersive artwork, our artists masterfully translate your vision onto the page.
Unlike templated services, we take the time to understand you and your book. Every project is approached with care, ensuring your illustrations are as unique as your story.
We settle for nothing less than perfection. With two rounds of revisions at every stage, your illustrations will be polished to match your exact vision.
From editing and formatting to cover design and marketing, we provide a comprehensive publishing experience. Partnering with Road House Publishing means having a dedicated team supporting your book’s journey—from the initial draft to the finished product.

Antonio Lopez is a fantastic project manager. This is my first experience with publishing although I have written many newsletter articles. Antonio's patience and support have been instrumental in me wanting to write more. As an 85 year old retired educator, I have acquired many ideas through the years for children's books and teacher training support which I am enjoying to share through publishing. Please extend my compliments to the entire support staff. Illustrations are fantastic and the proofing is outstanding. Thank you.

My experience with Emma Felix as senior project manager was great ! Her team was responsive, detail-oriented and open to comments. I got to work at my pace. That made a huge difference. The typesetting was perfect. The team produced my eye-catching book cover in a flash ! I had a great manuscript to start with. Now, I have a fantastic book to sell. All the best to Emma and her team.

I had been thinking about publishing my shocking diary experiences with my ex-wife & browsed on self-publishing in mid October 2024. Having clicked on the page, Zach Francis popped up on a chat box “how can I help you?”. I told him my thoughts & we chatted for maybe an hour? I sent my (very) draft WORD file & at the end, I agreed to sign up. Next up, I was contacted by Cheryl Ann who has been my contact & constant companion throughout the process of cleaning up the document into a 500 page book. Daily “pings” on the dedicated platform to communicate & send document updates, book cover, video trailer etc. Cheryl must work long hours & is dedicated.

I have been very impressed with publishing services. Felix Larsson was fantastic at the commencement of the program. He clearly explained the cost and processes and they have reflected my experience so far. Incredibly reasonably priced and has helped me fulfil my publishing dream. He also checks in and is super helpful. Harvey West then took over and has been working hard to get the illustrations completed and the project finalised. I have appreciated their commitment and attention to my needs as an author. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the team on future publication projects.

The timeline depends on the complexity of your project and the services required. However, Road House Publishing offers streamlined publishing solutions designed for efficiency without compromising quality. If your manuscript is already refined and near publication-ready, we can have it available in the marketplace in as little as 7–10 business days. Need a faster turnaround? Connect with a publishing consultant to explore expedited options tailored to your timeline.
The key distinction lies in durability and presentation. A paperback features a flexible, lightweight cover bound with adhesive, making it more portable and cost-effective. A hardcover, on the other hand, is bound with a rigid, cloth- or paper-wrapped board, offering greater longevity and a premium feel. While paperbacks are ideal for casual readers, hardcovers elevate the reading experience, making them perfect for collectors and high-end releases.
Absolutely. Every detail is yours to decide. At the outset of your publishing journey, we provide a curated selection of premium options for ink quality, paper weight, and book dimensions. Once your book is formatted, the size is locked in, ensuring a seamless final layout. However, you retain the flexibility to adjust paper weight and ink quality at any time via your personalized author dashboard.
