Our Prairie authors include many first-time authors who rely on our expertise and professional services such as writing, editing, layout, marketing, and distribution to get their books published and into the marketplace in a timely manner. Marketing and distribution services include providing access to sales channels on the Prairies, across Canada and internationally: in bookstores and other select retail outlets; through presentations at schools, libraries, trade shows and other venues; and at workshops on writing, editing, and publishing techniques.
We work in three publishing models: as a hybrid publisher in partnership with authors where authors pay most of the costs of publishing and receive a royalty of 75% to 25%; in a traditional book-publishing model in which DriverWorks Ink pays the costs and authors receive a royalty of up to 10% of the regular retail price of the book; and as a self-publisher of books written by Deana J. Driver. DriverWorks Ink prides itself in: careful editing, layout and proofreading; choosing meaningful photographs to accompany non-fiction stories; working with authors and talented Saskatchewan artists to ensure exceptional artwork is created for the best quality books that will be well-received in the marketplace. All DriverWorks Ink books are published in Saskatchewan and are scheduled into our production program to ensure all aspects of the process have the attention required for a quality product. A panel of qualified proofreaders – including English teachers and librarians – and talented contract artists and printers assist DriverWorks Ink in the publishing process.

"Working with DriverWorks Ink to publish my adult coloring book has been a fabulous experience. It was less than two months from our initial meeting and discussion of publishing my artwork until receiving the printed copies of my book. Deana worked long hours and was a great mentor and partner as we collaborated on every aspect of the book – from the colors on the cover to the dedication and biography. Her energy and sense of humor were invigorating and encouraging in all our communications." Jeanne Burbage, creator of The Zenimaginarium Garden coloring book
"Working with DriverWorks Ink was a trouble-free process. Everything happened in a timely manner. I love my book." Lorelei Rogers, author of Shaking The Family Tree
"In 50 years in the newspaper business, I've had the pleasure of working for and with many outstanding editors – none more caring, competent and thoroughly professional than Deana Driver. She is, simply put, the best. I highly recommend Deana to anyone wanting to publish a book." Clay Stacey, author of non-fiction autobiography The Inquiring Reporter
"When I first approached Deana at DriverWorks Ink about helping me self-publish my book, without hesitation she offered to meet me, get acquainted and talk about my project. She and Al quickly gained insight into what I had in mind, which made it easier for us to work together. Both are highly qualified journalists, alive, fun and energetic. They keep to the schedule they promise." Eleanor A. Sinclair, author of Our Lamps Were Heavy
