PUBLISHING STEPS |

| Step 1 | Receive a Manuscript number & a Quotation |
| Step 2 | Select a publishing package |
| Step 3 | Submission of your Manuscript |
| Step 4 | Review proofs |
| Step 5 | Congrats!! Your book is published!! |
In order to start the publishing process, there are a few steps that you, the author, will need to take. Firstly, you will need to Register the manuscript with us. This simply means that you send us information about yourself, contact details and the name of your manuscript you wish to publish so that we can send you a quotation. You will obtain a Manuscript Number. We will use this information about the author and the book throughout the publishing process to identify the "book in progress". You will receive a Manuscript Number and Quotation via e-mail. |

Once you have completed Step 1, you should have received a Manuscript Number and quote via e-mail and various forms that need to be completed. If you are satisfied with the process so far then you can continue and Register your manuscript, or contact barbara@newvoices.co.za if you need more information. Without your Manuscript number, you will not be able to complete the Submission form. Now you need to select the Publishing Packages to create your new book!! If you need to have a look at the selections available, please go to Author Assistance. |

Great!! Now we are ready to get things going!! The forms (mentioned in Step 2) and the two online submission forms should have been completed (Quotation & Registration). Now all we need are the Electronic Files, completed forms & payment. In order to prevent delays, please take note of how to deliver the electronic files. Mail: Please post your submission (CD-ROM & Documents) to: New Voices
Publishing |
E-mail: If your electronic files are small enough to e-mail (under 1MB), then submit to barbara@newvoices.co.za together with your completed documents. (combining all the files in a compressed file (ZIP FILE) would be nice!) Payment: You should have received a full Quote at this stage for the Publishing Package. If you have requested a cover design, then this will be included. Please note: The price per printed book will fluctuate according to the number of pages, if colour or B&W & the size of the book. Printing prices will be quoted separately with a minimum of 25 books per order. Once the Quote has been accepted, then an Invoice will be sent to you via e-mail. Payments can be made via bank transfer, deposit or cheque. |

| Step 4: Review proofs |
This is the semi-final stage of the publishing process!! The book has gone through the design, layout & typesetting stages. Your book is now ready for a complete proofreading by the author. A PDF File will be e-mailed to you, which will be an e-mail friendly version (print version will be too big to e-mail), and you are asked to go through it carefully and make the necessary changes. Please remember that there will be a penalty of R100.00 per hour if the corrections take longer than two hours to complete. These corrections can be sent to us as printed pages with your hand written corrections in red, or e-mail the information as detailed instructions, e.g. Page 3, line 12 - change "smile" to "smiles", and so on. (Mailing information in Step 3). Contact us if you have any questions at this stage. |
