• She has also written and published 10 children’s books with one in Korean and one is Russian working with her sister, Karna Peck as an artist. 
• Glorybound printed and bound books from 2005 until 2018. When Create Space was sold to become KDP, it provided a good opportunity for print-on-demand. We were used to designing files for books, so learning format parameters for KDP was fairly easy. There were no clear instructions, so once Sheri figured it out, she wrote a book InDesign Easy.

• We still have 5 book binders in the office as needed for minimal local book binding jobs. 
• In 2015 we began doing Children’s Books Live with on-stage productions at libraries, schools and civic events. We have a storage room with full-size props, a 4 foot letters GBK that can stand on the stage, a fog machine, a bubble machine, neon lights and a really big cotton candy machine. Local libraries and school invite us and we bring authors to read as well as musicians to play on stage. We also have a set of puppets, for smaller stages.

• The Glorybound Professional Publisher School was opened in 2020 with private classes and is credentialed by Glorybound Publishing established to set the standard for publishing books in the US. The credential is based on the educational experience obtained over 20 years as Glorybound Publishing grew into the largest publishing company in Northern Arizona. It is a private school which has streamlined essential elements needed to become a professional publisher.

Glorybound Sounds Studio is set up to have authors ZOOM straight into the studio and record their book live into the digital equipment. It is very streamlined and modern.

Our office is in Northern Arizona. We run everything out of the downstairs of a house 6 blocks from Main Street in Camp Verde. We live upstairs.  We work with authors in the office, and on ZOOM offering services which help them achieve their goals. We pretty much publish whatever authors bring us--with the goal of making it professional [encouraging the authors to fix spelling and grammar]. All of the work is done 'live' with the authors looking over our shoulders helping to make the decisions.

We specialize in HARD-TO-FORMAT books with a lot of pictures. Examples include: Local History, Historical Society Records, Memoirs, Cookbooks, philanthropist project books, technical books, print-to-edge children’s books, and picture intensive full-bleed books. We also format reflowable and non-reflowable e-books for hand-held readers as well as I-Phone.

We have editors and publishers on staff to assist with market evaluation, manuscript copy editing, formatting using InDesign in conjunction with Photoshop, publishing to print, promotion, and sales.

We have a Sound Room [with a Sound Engineer] allowing us to record audio books live and ZOOM. This enables authors to read their own books while they are recorded. 

For those aspiring to become publishers or fill in their knowledge, The Publisher School provides up to date, accurate training for professional publishing offering 16 personalized 1:1 classes. 

Glorybound Publishing is expanding and continuing to help author's dreams of publishing come to life. The marketing websites are part of the bigger picture.
