The general process is set out below.
-
We will prayerfully review a synopsis and sample chapter of your manuscript.
-
If we are happy with the content of these, we will ask for the whole
of your manuscript for review. We realize that not everybody is
familiar with modern technology so although we prefer to have a
manuscript both on paper and electronically, we will also accept
manuscripts that are clearly handwritten or typed.
-
We will prayerfully review the whole of your manuscript to ensure
that it is Biblically sound. We may, at our discretion, suggest
appropriate changes.
-
If we accept your book for publication we will provide a quotation to
cover the costs and time involved in publishing the book and we will
send you two signed copies of our Terms
and Conditions. If you agree to the Terms and Conditions, you
must sign one copy and return it to us together with payment. The
second copy is for you to keep.
-
After discussion with you, we will decide on the finished book format
and size.
-
Upon receipt of the payment, signed Terms and Conditions, and proof
of any copyright permissions, we will prepare your manuscript for
publishing. Depending on the form of the manuscript this can be a
lengthy process, especially if you send your manuscript in a non-electronic
format.
-
We will arrange suitable artwork for the cover or dust jacket, or you
may supply your own.
-
We will supply you with a hard copy printout of the processed
manuscript and cover artwork for your approval.
-
If the hard copy printout is satisfactory, we will send the processed
manuscript and cover artwork to the printer and order a proof copy.
We will assess the quality of the proof copy.
-
If the proof copy is satisfactory, we will arrange for your book to
be listed in book catalogues. It will then be available for purchase
by the general public.
-
We will send you a number of copies of your book. You may purchase
further copies through us at a discount price.
-
We will pay you royalties at the agreed rate on a three-monthly basis.
