By visiting this website, you have found yourself
with one of the most experienced, knowledgeable entities in the
publishing business.
Shadow Canyon Graphics was founded in 1978—meaning, we have
been in business for more than twenty-five years. Owner and principal
editor/designer Dianne Nelson well remembers the days of galley
proofs, paste-ups, waxers, drawing boards, Mayline rules, and red
windows of Zip-a-Tone for photo placement. Now we work on Macs
and can size our photos in Photoshop and Quark XPress—a major
transition from the way “things used to be.”
This is merely to illustrate the fact that when you choose Shadow
Canyon Graphics, you are choosing to work with someone who understands
all facets of the publishing business, and who knows how the business
has transitioned through the years. And even though we focus our
work on editorial and production, Nelson's years as a copublisher
of Cordillera Press also give her an edge when it comes to understanding
what it takes to sell books in a competitive market.
Throughout the years, we have worked with both publishers and
self-publishers to produce high-quality, marketable books. We have
designed, edited, and produced more than 450 titles in the past
twenty-five years. We bring to you the very best in quality and
service. Welcome to your new world—the world
of book publishing. We wish to bring not only professionalism and
experience to your project, but a smile and a commitment to excellence.
