Where there is a will.. While the day of reprinting a book on demand at a booksellers is still off, you can get to a published book in four weeks or so at IUniverse. A basic cost to produce five books is $449. If you were wondering how to do it, here's one way:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Publishing on demand: Manuscript-to-Book Timeline<br>
<br>
Submission Verification<br>
<br>
Your manuscript will be verified to make sure that it is long enough and in the correct format for iUniverse to produce. Submissions that are going through editorial review should allow additional time for the review process.<br>
<br>
Design<br>
<br>
You can expect the cover and book block proofs within 2 weeks from the time your book enters production.<br>
<br>
Author Proof<br>
<br>
This is your chance to check the proofs. You are given 14 days to submit any changes or corrections. The faster you return your proof form, the faster your book will be completed. Visit the Help Zone for details.<br>
<br>
Revision<br>
<br>
Our designers will create the graphics that will appear in our online bookstore once the revisions have been completed. This part of the process takes roughly 10 days. Your book will be available in the iUniverse bookstore when this step is complete and you will receive your author copy or copies at this time. You can order additional copies with your author discount from iUniverse.<br>
<br>
Distribution<br>
<br>
If you sign up for this service (included in Premier Program, optional in the Select Program), your book and title information will be sent to Books in Print and the wholesalers and online booksellers who will be distributing your book. Bookstores update their catalogs on different schedules, so it generally takes approximately 4-6 weeks to have your book available at all online booksellers.<br>
