Once you get your manuscript to our expert editor, it will take 10 days to get the manuscript back to you for your review. You then will have 1 week to review the suggested changes, revise your manuscript and send it back to the editor for final changes.

The cover design usually takes 3-4 weeks depending on the cover choice you choose as you provide the text and pictures for the cover.

The whole manuscript with the cover, once approved, then goes to the layout copy editor. In about 10 days, you will get the manuscript back for final approval.

Printers are either covered up with work or have nothing. If the manuscript is sent at a time a printer is not busy, they can get it back to us in 3-4 weeks. If they are busy it can take up to 6 weeks. Unfortunately, we have very little control over printer’s schedules.  

The total process from the time it is submitted to having your book in hand will be approximately 6-12 weeks. If you are in a rush, the best way to save time is in the submission of the manuscript and in the editing process. Let us know if you have a deadline.
