Frequently Asked Questions

How should I submit my manuscript?

You may submit your manuscript to us as a hard copy, but we prefer submissions in electronic form (CD or disk). Submitting in electronic form gives you, the author, more direct control of appearance and content. It is also much less expensive for you than submitting paper copies.

How will my book's price be established?

Printing costs are the main determining factor for pricing printed books. The final price is ultimately determined by page count, size of book, and the book's format. While our wholesale prices can be raised at your request (as long as we have not already submitted your book to our printer), they cannot be lowered. Electronic books are typically priced lower than the printed version.

Can I make corrections to my manuscript once it goes into production?

Once we have received all of your materials, we will format your book and send you a galley proof to review. As soon as you return this to us, we'll make any necessary revisions and, if necessary, send you a second galley. This process will continue until you approve the work. Once you have approved the galley, the file will go into our printer's production schedule. At every stage in the process, our unique tracking system allows you to check on the progress of your book by simply visiting our website.
