"Manuscript: something submitted in haste and
returned at leisure"Oliver Herford
Is your manuscript ready for submission? We will identify what needs to be done to polish and prepare it to submit to international publishing houses. For instance, you may need to go through the following steps:
- Securing intellectual property protection.
- An initial reading to critique the work and determine whether the manuscript is publishable.
- Copy Editing and/or Substantive Editing (Structural and Line Editing).
- Identifying the most appropriate publishers to approach with the manuscript.
- Submitting the manuscript to interested publishers.
Patience is a virtue! This process can take time, sometimes as long as three years. Remember that even the most gifted writer may have difficulty getting published. Jack London, author of Call of the Wild, received close to 600 rejections before his book was published!
