About Gregorivs
How do you say Gregorivs?
Gregorivs is pronounced "Gregorius." In Greek the V was pronounced as a U. Everyone knows the greeks were awesome in their hayday. In addition to their general bad-assery the Greeks possessed one of the finest institutions of logic the world has ever seen. This allowed them to be socially advanced until their decline. Gregorivs strives to be just as awesome as the Greeks were.
What makes Gregorivs so good?
That's a marvelous question! Gregorivs is an amazing company! Its simple goal of bringing good books to print is founded on the ideals of truth and justice. There's no telling when it might come in handy to have a publisher at your back who will stand up to wrong-doers. Also we make you money.
Is Gregorivs a Publisher?
Yes Gregorivs Publishing LLC publishes books. Fantastic books. Great books. Books that will make you want to quit your job and just read our books all day long. Just try it if you don't believe us.
What kinds of books do you publish?
Gregorivs publishes books of both general and specific interest. We mostly look for books that are enjoyable to read. If you send us Moby Dick we will send it back, except minus all the words.
Publishing With Gregorivs
What kind of services do you have?
Gregorivs offers affordable ghostwriting and editing services in addition to publishing. We'd hate to see a book better than Moby Dick not get published due to some technical errors. If a book is almost there but not quite 100% ready we offer to ship it over to our editing department with a free quote.
How long does it take to become published?
We are as impatient as you are when it comes to waiting for the work someone else is doing for us. That's why we do our best to provide timely updates about the status of your project. When a manuscript is fully written, polished, and ready for formatting, Gregorivs Publishing can produce a book within several weeks. Anything less than that will require more time.
How do you design the book cover?
Here at Gregorivs Publishing we know that the average reader barely glances at ugly book covers. Readers want to read a book that will be at least as interesting as a blockbuster movie in High Definition with surround sound. We make sure to keep those retinas stimulated when they glance our way.
How do you market and publicize your books?
Gregorivs makes money at the same time you make money. Therefore marketing and publicizing our books is something that Gregorivs goes to great lengths to ensure is done right.
Gregorivs Collaboration
What is Gregorivs Collaboration?
Gregorivs Collaboration is our pet project. We've always thought it would be cool to have writers come together and see what happens when they mix and match on a page. Our awesome system is fantastic!
Do you publish the books you complete?
You bet!
Do you pay the people who contribute?
Absolutely! At publication time Gregorivs contacts the top 10 contributers of a book and informs them of the royalties they will receive from sales. In light of one of the leading examples www.amillionpenguins.com, contributors will receive equal royalties. This is to discourage one or two folks from flooding the pages to up their word counts. We're pretty sure the people who got together to write Moby Dick did not in fact think of a system as good as ours.
Who holds the copyright for the books?
As detailed in our privacy policy all content and materials on the Gregorivs website are the property of Gregorivs unless otherwise stated. By using our service to write a book collaboratively, it's our book. But we pay you, so that makes it a little bit your book too.
How do you use the system?
We'd like you to register, look at the stories, and edit any page you think needs some tender love and care. Be gentle~ People put a lot of work into what you are thinking about deleting all of!
How do you know when the book is finished?
The highly qualified editors at Gregorivs are responsible for locking book pages when they are finished. Trust us, we lock them sooner than later. There is no reason to re-write the wheel a thousand times. Honestly we are just afraid someone might write Moby Dick for us if we give them enough time.
Mansucript Editing
What are the types of editing you do?
Gregorivs is a book publishing company so our editing service is for manuscripts in varying states of completion. We are especially happy to offer this service to people with nearly completed manuscripts who are just about to submit their manuscript to various publishing houses.
How much does editing cost?
A general guideline chart is available at . Each manuscript requires a different level of editing and the author is a significant part of the process. Although a project that requires more or less attention to detail will be quoted differently.
Who does the editing?
Gregorivs has editors on staff with over 15 years of experience. Our experts carefully review your manuscript for any number of errors, depending on your specification.
How long does editing take?
Gregorivs Publishing has an excellent turnaround time. We ensure this with whips and chains and generally poor conditions for our editors. They don't complain much, these days.
Ghostwriting
How much does ghostwriting cost?
Ghostwriting can be a very hands on process for the author with constant feedback or updates with the ghostwriter, or a milestone driven process. Gregorivs is very proud of its ghostwriting staff and the level of service the department provides. If you envision yourself as a rich wealthy businessman with too little time to really deal with the hassle of personal communication and you are too stingy to pay your secretary extra to work with a ghostwriter through you, or if you actually are a rich wealthy businessman with too little time to deal with the hassle of personal communication and you are too stingy to pay your secretary extra to work with a ghostwriter, boy have we got just the service for you.
What kinds of books do you ghostwrite?
The simple answer is, anything. The other answer which isn't simple because it uses a much longer gramatical structure is: anything.
Who ghostwrites the book?
The Gregorivs ghostwriting staff are highly qualified with over 20 years of experience and an excellent track record of satisfied customers. Back in the beginning we made an agreement that for every satisfied customer they produced they would receive one bowl of gruel. The first project was a doozy and we weren't sure if they would make it to that first bowl of gruel. Fortunately for everyone involved a bowl of gruel can be a great motivator to finish writing a book. We are certain that Stephen King loves gruel.
How long does ghostwriting take?
Depending on the specifications of your project ghostwriting may take- Oh look at the time, gotta go!
Who owns the copyright to a ghostwritten book?
Upon completion of the terms of contract, the author of the book has full copyrights to the book.
Can I get my book published elsewhere?
Gregorivs is proud of both its publishing service and its ghostwriting service and offers them independently. Although we will be sad to see you go, the ghostwritten book is entirely your property. You thankless son of a bitch.
Ordering and Distribution
Where can people buy books from Gregorivs?
People can buy Gregorivs books from: Their living room computer, a floating pool chair, the Bahamas, and brick and mortar book shops that Gregorivs thinks are worthy enough to protect our books from the elements with their walls and ceilings.
Do you promote your books to bookstores?
Absolutely. Gregorivs goes to great lengths to send its books to both franchised and independently owned bookstores across the country. Otherwise only internet nerds would read our books and we don't want that!
How can people order books?
How can people do anything? By putting one foot forward and then the other. It's not rocket science. We are sure if we gave every person in the world enough time they could all order our books.
Is there an author or volume discount?
Yes Gregorivs is happy to support the author's distributions.
