Custom Publishing

In 2021, Bucking Horse Books began offering custom editing, design, and publishing services for those individuals wishing to publish their memoirs and other book projects. We are selective in which projects we take on, but if we do agree to work together, you will receive first-class, honest work from top professionals in the industry. We work on an hourly basis and will not try to sell you an expensive package that you don’t need. To enquire about our services, please send us an email briefly describing your project to publisher@buckinghorsebooks.com.

Our first custom book project, A GERMAN FROM THE UKRAINE describes Walter Ratzlaf’s astonishing journey fleeing ahead of Russian troops during World War II, his family’s post-war years in Germany, and assimilating into American society (Available from Mountain Press).

“An exceptionally well-written and inherently interesting life story that is enhanced for the reader with the inclusion of 71 color and black/white photos, A German from the Ukraine : An Immigrant’s Journey to Oregon is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal reading lists and community library Contemporary Biography & Memoir collections.” —Midwest Book Review, March, 2022
