This project covers steps and completion status for the very
core book preparation, printing & publishing process and
related approvals. Please track this page to see % completion
of your book publishing process and visualize overall progress.
This drastically eliminates thousands of email chains we will be
involving letting all authors know their project status. And,
finally our associates can concentrate more on working on
your project.
Please understand we do our best to ensure we can send your
book to printing ASAP and once we receive approval from you
(the author) regarding the final manuscript and the book cover,
it will be printed and ready for shipping within a maximum of
14 days.
But, this is very important for you to understand that, UNLESS
we receive APPROVALS from you, for any simplest change, we
cannot start counting the 14 – day timer. Why? Because we
value you and we strive to make you 100% satisfied. How?
Imagine, on the very first day of the month you paid us for full
and uploaded the manuscript. Now after we implement the
layout settings and do the promised proofreading and editing
(as per the package you have paid for) if we do not ask for your
approvals, will you be really happy for those unnoticed
changes? Even if, one of our most creative senior book cover
designer does his very best assignment by delivering a
stunning design, you may still choose to pay extra for
additional revisions or even complete design changes. How can
we send it for printing without YOUR APPROVAL? Now
imagine, in case one of our clients is very passionate regarding
perfection and has a decent amount of budget fulfilling his/her
dream, there can be multiple numbers of payment, approval
and change cycles which is undetermined and not easy to
predict. So, the urge of having complete satisfaction overrides
the project deadline, which is perfectly alright as in the real
world, everything is not perfect but some are – like our final
delivery and your happiness.
