STEP 1:
Order Online or speak with a customer representative at (800)-662-0701 x240
Right from the start, one of the features which sets us apart
from other companies is the accessibility to our customer
service team. A representative is available by phone to assist
you throughout the entire process. If you order online, a
representative will contact you by phone to walk you through the
process.
STEP 2:
Determine desired net profit per book
Using our
Royalty Calculator, the representative can help you
determine the best
discount rate and sales price which will
enable you to establish the amount of net profit you would like
to make for each book. To confirm exact book cost, a
representative will normally request a digital file of
manuscript. Since most new self publishers are not experienced
with the production aspects of book printing, we will make sure
that all page settings are correct and the page count is
accurate.
STEP 3: A
Customized Publishing Contract and Title Information Packet is provided
Our contracts are title specific and will provide a detailed
breakdown of all cost and profit calculations. Our authors
get to specify exactly which options and formats (paperback,
hardcover, ebook) they would like for each title. Contracts are
Non-exclusive and authors can cancel at anytime.
Once a signed contract is returned, we ask that our clients
to thoroughly review their manuscript before submitting for
formatting and print-ready conversion.
STEP
4: Digital File Formatting & Conversion >
Digital Proof
Once we receive your final digital
file (Word Document or PDF), our Graphics Department
will review and make any necessary corrections. Once formatting
and conversion are finalized, a digital proof (PDF) will be provided for
approval. PLEASE REVIEW VERY CAREFULLY. Any changes after
digital proof approval will be charged fees specified above.Upon approval of your digital
proof, we will produce a single printed sample of
your book and you should receive the book within 6 business
days. Since we want to be absolutely sure you
love the quality of our work and how your book
looks, this proofing process is required for all
orders. Once you carefully review your book,
either ACCEPT or REJECT. If you reject it, we make
the necessary corrections and send you a new proof
(an additional fee will be charged).
STEP 5:
Title is available on distribution network in 4-6 weeks
Upon final hard copy approval, all metadata and keyword
information will be uploaded to Bowker's Books In Print and
Ingram's databases. Titles should start showing up on
internet sites and be readily available in approximately 4
weeks.
STEP 6:
Royalty Distribution
Every quarter we provide a distribution check and royalty
statement indicating the number of titles sold.
If any payment due is less than $50.00, no payment will be made
but the amount due will be added to the next payment that
exceeds $50.00.
