FROM MANUSCRIPT TO BOOK

How It Works

From enquiry to publication in six stages.

1

Enquiry

Use the contact form to tell us about your project, your materials and your timing. Early-stage ideas are welcome.

2

Review & quote

We review the content, outline format, page count, specifications and schedule, and propose a plan and quote.

3

Agreement

We confirm scope, schedule, copyright and usage rights in writing and sign an agreement.

4

Editing & design

Editing and proofreading proceed alongside cover design, layout and typesetting.

5

Final proof & print

After colour proofs and a final check, the book goes to print (or to file production for e-books).

6

Published

The book is published with an ISBN. We can also advise on legal deposit, distribution and e-book release.

Schedules vary with specifications and page count. Please ask us.

Even at the idea stage,

feel free to get in touch.

We work in Japanese, English and Chinese. Meetings can be held online.
