Step 1 – Tell us about your book
The first step to publishing with Spiderwize is for you to send us a synopsis describing your book. If your book's description meets our needs we will then give you the opportunity to submit your manuscript with the view to us accepting to publish your book.
Step 2 – Sign up and submit your manuscript
We will ask for some basic author information and ask you to send us your manuscript. Within five working days we will inform you if we have accepted your book. We will only ask you to pay the first 50% of the publishing fee if we accept your book for publishing.
Step 3 – Gather all necessary information / images
Your Production Assistant will then ask for some additional information including the description to go on back cover, any cover design ideas you have, book size preferences, interior colour preference etc.
Step 4 – Check proofs
Once we have formatted your manuscript and designed your cover, we will send you proofs, including cover proofs, to check for any errors. You confirm the proofs are to your satisfaction, or provide a list of corrections. You only pay the remaining 50% publishing fee after the proof stage is complete.
Step 5 – You decide on pricing
After the book's proof stage we will send you some examples and guidance notes of what we think the best retail, wholesale and author royalties percentage (amount you earn per book) should be for your book. But the final decision is the author's, so if you wish to change the amount you will earn per book, then this is fine.
Step 6 – Go to press
That's it - now sit back and relax. We will send your book to the printers and send you a free copy of your newly printed book. We will add your book to the UK and US distribution list so that your book can be made available to online retailers & wholesalers. This includes amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. Your book will now be available to print at any time.
