How does the editing process work?

When we receive a manuscript, we will send it as an e-mail attachment to one of our professional editors. He or she will edit your manuscript electronically using the Track Changes function of Microsoft Word. You will receive the edited document to review as an e-mail attachment. Using Track Changes you will accept or reject the editor's changes and send it back to BookPros. The editor will look at the document one last time, making any more necessary changes as well as accepting your changes and send it back to BookPros. At that point you will look at it once more, ensure that the text is exactly the way you want it and approve it.

What are your requirements to send in a manuscript?

Manuscripts sent into BookPros must be Microsoft Word documents, double spaced, with twelve-point, Times New Roman font.

How long does the editing process take?

Our traditional editing service takes around a month to complete, but this varies depending on the length of the manuscript and the complexity of the edit.

How long does cover design take?

Cover design also varies book to book. The process usually takes a month but can be longer or shorter depending upon the amount of changes requested by the author as well as the amount of time spent reviewing cover concepts.

Do I get to approve of my book's design before it is printed?

Yes, our authors play an integral part in our design process. You will get to offer suggestions and input as well as have final approval over any design of your cover or interior layout. We are here to guide the process along as well as offer professional advice, but each author makes the final decision for his or her book.
