Ten Step
Time Line
     Just Ten Steps to Publication                  
                                    
  1. After you contact us, we will send you a Publishing Agreement.                             
    Review the agreement.  Call us if you have any questions.
  2. Sign both copies and return one to Westview with your check.
  3. Either e-mail your finished files or enclose a CD with your return mailing.
  4. We’ll put your manuscript into the queue.  It will take 2-3 weeks before you get a
    draft of your layout.
  5. We will undoubtedly be communicating several times during this period regarding
    photos, cover design, and other issues.
  6. We’ll prepare an author’s proof (printed double-sided on 8.5 x 11 inch paper) for
    your review and upon which you can make corrections.  Please remember that
    corrections to the layout are made at our expense; if you request corrections to
    your text block, those corrections and any necessary adjustments to the layout  will
    be made at your expense, as detailed in the Book Publishing Agreement.
  7. After you correct the author’s proof, mail it back to us and we’ll make the
    corrections on the computer file.
  8. Once any corrections are made, we’ll submit the manuscript to our printer and they
    will print an advance copy that will look exactly like a bookstore quality book,
    completely bound.  This will take approximately five to ten days from the point at
    which we submit the manuscript to the printer.
  9. After we examine the advance copy to make sure it meets our specifications, it will
    be mailed to you for your review.  You will either send us a letter or e-mail
    approving the advance copy, or you may send additional changes which will be
    made at your expense.  Charges will include the additional fees required for
    resubmission to the printer as detailed in the Book Publishing Agreement.
  10. Upon your approval of the advance copy, we’ll be ready to print however many
    copies you need.  It will take one to two weeks after an order is placed for the books
    to be shipped to your home address.
