Welcome to the website of Raymond And Schafer Art and Publishing.

Raymond And Schafer Art And Publishing was established in 2005 when author, Marilyn Magney Newkirk wrote her first book SPOKANE, 22ND STREET AND THE FIFTIES.

One of the company’s purposes is to inspire those who attach importance to history, and understand the significance of the long hours of research it takes to complete a book. The Second purpose is to assist those who seek to create a legacy of their family’s history by publishing a book.

The company’s third purpose is to assist and inspire artist to create and sell their artistic work on line. Art design comes in many forms, such as painting, sculpting, producing jewelry, quilts, making purses etc.

Raymond And Schafer Art and Publishing has devised several programs that contain variations for artist and writer.

When beginning the process of creating a masterpiece or starting that best seller, there are two questions each artist or writer, need to ask.

By addressing these to vital questions, Raymond And Schafer Art And Publishing has a better understanding of what the artist or writer desires to accomplish. When these two important questions have been answered, our company can begin to offer consulting services.

Our company has professionals who can give suggestions, regarding the quality of the art work, how to make improvements, various ways to market and sell the artists newest creation and how to price the item that is to be sold.

For new authors, we discuss the various ways to create a marketable book. Our company discusses the editing process, cover design, formatting, marketing ideas and approaches, and what various costs will entail in order to produce a book for sale.

The following are just a couple of examples of what a new author might expect to pay for publishing a book.
