Publication Process - Steps and Information.
(The headache saving guide for you and your colleagues)
So your author is ready for the publication process. Before you start it is important you explain
to the client that during this process there will be a lot of back and forth
emails, and the longer they take to respond the longer the process will take
(nicely but firmly). To help keep the
process on track follow the steps below.
Book Content
-
Send the draft from client to Judith (editor) for the editing process
(word format). During this process Judith will send the book back for
approval by the client. When you forward it onto the client inform them
that if they wish to make any changes, they must reply via email
stating; the changes to be made, page number, paragraph number and
line. If it is not stated clearly the changes will not be made. If
they request changes forward e-mail to Judith. Continue this process
until the client is happy.
- Once
editing has been completed, send to James for formatting. James will
format(lay out) the book, and send it back for approval. Again forward
onto the client for approval, if they request any changes, they must be
clearly stated via e-mail. Continue this process until the client is
happy. The final version must be PDF format.
- KDP
(this is where you upload the final version of the book), Whilst steps 1
and 2 are happening, ask the client to create an account with Amazon,
using the following link kdp.amazon.com. Amazon will provide the isbn
number which you will need later. Once the client has created the
account ask them to send you the login information and password.
- If I client needs their book transcribing contact Nancy, once it is transcribed follow steps 1 - 3
- Ensure
that when you are forwarding emails between clients and the team you
remove any personal information (names, email addresses etc) of either
party.
Cover
The client is responsible to arrange (via a designer) and
implement the cover design. We suggest
they use a designer from fiverr (but this is normally explained at the camp),
you need to ensure they have all the requirements before they start this
process. The requirements are as
follows:-
·
Size - 13.97 x 21.59 each side
·
Page total - to give measurements for the spine (ask James for this when
sending it to formatting)
·
Authors photo (back cover)
·
Book synopsis/Blurb (back cover)
·
Wow book publishing logo (back cover)·
·
Space left for the barcode and isbn number
·
Prices in £ (pounds), $ (dollars) and € (euros)
Before you go to publication, you must ensure your client
to submits a statement via e-mail stating that they are happy with the final
version and are ready to go to the final printing/uploading phase.
