Understanding the Timeline for Self-Publishing Formatting and Revisions

This article outlines the timeline for the initial formatting and revision rounds in the self-publishing process.

Timeline for Initial Formatting and Revisions

  1. Submission of Manuscript:

    • Once you submit your finalized, professionally edited manuscript, the formatting process begins.

  2. Initial Formatting:

    • The initial formatting is typically completed within 7-9 business days after submission, depending on the complexity of the manuscript and any specific notes provided.

  3. Rounds of Revisions:

    • You are entitled to up to 3 rounds of formatting revisions. Each round allows you to request changes based on the initial formatting.
    • The time taken for each revision round is generally around 5-6 days, contingent on the complexity of the requested changes.

  4. Final Approval:

    • After completing the rounds of revisions, final approvals are needed before the book can be published. The total timeline from submission to a print-ready book can take several weeks, influenced by how quickly feedback is provided.

  5. Factors Affecting Timeline:

    • Timely responses to revision requests and the prompt submission of files/assets can expedite the process. If feedback is delayed, it may extend the overall timeline.
Conclusion

The timeline for the initial formatting and revision rounds is structured to facilitate a smooth transition from manuscript submission to publication. By adhering to the outlined processes and providing timely feedback, authors can help ensure their books are ready for print and distribution within a reasonable timeframe.
