Chapter Three
ROMAR Press is an independent press that falls into the general category of “hybrid publishing.” We are not a “vanity press.” This means we offer services to bridge the gap between self-publishing and agent-driven, traditional publishing.
The path to publication
From your completed manuscript to publication and distribution, we guide you through each step.
When your project is complete, submit your work for publication consideration with ROMAR Press.
ROMAR reviews your manuscript, discusses your goals, and determines the services needed for your specific project.
Depending on your needs, ROMAR may provide global editing, minor editing, proofreading, formatting, and other preparation services.
ROMAR handles the publishing details required to prepare your book for release, including pre-press work, ISBN numbers, bar codes, printing, and related production services.
Books may be distributed through channels including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, independent bookstores, local bookstores, and university bookstores where applicable.
ROMAR supports authors beyond publication with launch guidance, book signings, publication events, and continued author support.
What makes ROMAR different
Romar Press is an independent press that falls into the general category of “hybrid publishing.” We are not a “vanity press.” This means we offer services to bridge the gap between self-publishing and agent-driven, traditional publishing. This requires some element of both author and publisher investment and collaboration.
We’ll meet you where you are to customize everything you need to submit your book for publication. No two authors or projects in publishing are alike. We recognize that.
We’ll meet you where you are.

When your book’s ready to publish, we take care of related publishing details like pre-press, ISBN numbers, bar codes, printing, and distribution.
When your book is published, ROMAR Press will help you launch your book with a book signing and publication party.
