1. Purchase the appropriate Publishing Package.

 

2. Read and agree to the terms for the Author Contract.

 

3. Submit your materials under Book Setup.

Unless you have purchased one of our editing services, please make sure that your manuscript is completely edited and ready for publishing. Extra costs may be incurred if layout changes need to be updated after the publishing process has begun.

 

3. Approve Book Draft Materials

Within 10 to 15 business days, you will receive the completed initial cover and galley.

 

4. Approve Your Final Cover and Galley

When the layout of your book is complete and you’re comfortable with how everything looks, you will approve your final cover and interior galley.

 

5. Set and Approve Royalty Percentage.

Before your book is sent to the printer, you will approve your royalty percentage and selling price. We will send you a document that details your royalties from various vendors. Royalty and author costs are calculated by the final cover style, trim size, interior color vs. black and white, and page numbers of the published works.  

 

 

 

 

 

Your book can be in print within six weeks to three months of manuscript submission. Please be aware that this timeframe is only an estimate and the publishing process can vary significantly in response to requests and manuscript needs. Manuscripts with custom design services are not included in this estimated time frame. Due to the more extensive formatting requirements of hardcover books, paperback books usually become available much quicker than hardcover books.
