Manuscript Delivery

What to Expect

What We’ll Be Doing

  • Complete Editorial Round 1: Initial Structure and Developmental Editing review of your initial manuscript

    • We look at the overall structure of your manuscript and suggest changes to organization and where content might need to be beefed up, changed, or reduced

    • If your manuscript is complete, we’ll skip ahead to Editorial Round 3

  • Set up initial metadata for your book
  • Begin marketing list research
  • Start planning book design (colors, fonts, etc.)

What We’ll Need from You

  • Complete the Marketing Survey
  • After we’ve finished the Initial Structure and Developmental Edits, if needed, you’ll complete your manuscript, including:
    • Make any edits suggested in our review
    • Write any remaining portions you needed to finish
  • Deliver your completed manuscript by the Initial Delivery Date

Now is the time to think about how you want to position yourself, your book, and your goals for this project. We encourage you to seek a publicity connection or author coach. We have people to connect you with if you decide to go that route.

What’s Next

  • We’ll complete Editorial Round 2 and update your marketing plan
  • You’ll write a newsletter update
