What IS Pterosaur Publishing?
We’re a publishing company—with an emphasis on custom publishing. That means we can help you with any and all publications that represent your brand or organization.
What types of products do you produce?
It’s a long list, but the most common: event programs, art gallery guides, custom mini-magazines, corporate and school publications, yearbooks, playbills, and much, much more. We can even do trading cards! Each is executed with content that goes far beyond the usual printed fare, whether it’s an insightful interview with your organization’s leadership or interactive elements that keep the conversation going.
Does your publishing company offer writing, designing, or printing services?
All three! Printed projects can be a time- and resource-consuming effort for your team. Our aim is to craft a custom publication that surpasses your goals and reflects the broader quality of your brand, with little fuss. Writing and design are also available as singular services.
How does the process work?
That, of course, depends on your needs! We’ll establish the scope, aesthetic, pricing, and schedule for each project upfront. A clear, stress-free review process ensures that nothing goes to press without your final thumbs-up.
Some clients want to start from scratch; others have existing visual templates and literature they simply want refreshed. No matter your preference, Pterosaur can perch atop your current workflow and manage your print operation with ease.
My print product has ads from external parties, like event sponsors or personal shout-outs. Can you coordinate those, too?
Absolutely. We can make sure that outside entity has everything they need, whether it’s a list of specs, proofs, or their own design services, using a template approved by you.
What type of consulting services do you offer?
Do you already have an internal print operation that you’d like to audit or streamline? We can help you save time and money or improve your quality. Or maybe you’re wanting to launch a printed product for the first time? We can aid in all aspects of that process. Those are just a couple examples: Whether your product is editorial, commercial, or community-based, Pterosaur is here.
We also offer consultation on digital products, from e-newsletters to social.
Where is Pterosaur Publishing based?
Charlotte, N.C., but pterosaurs can fly anywhere.
Why did you name your company after an extinct flying reptile?
There are a few reasons for that. One is that it’s a wink to the idea that print publishers are “dinosaurs,” as these creatures also existed during the Mesozoic. But mainly, I feel like the qualities of a Pterosaur are ones to which we aspire: nimble and specialized, yet surprisingly powerful.
