After completing your manuscript, it will go through a round of self-editing or beta reading, followed by a professional edit by an editor. Once the editing is complete, it will move on to the next step in the publishing process.
After the editing stage, your book will go through the formatting process, where it will be prepared for print or digital publication. This includes page layout, font selection, and adding any necessary graphics or images.
Once the formatting is complete, your book will be sent to a cover designer who will create a cover that visually represents your book and appeals to your target audience.
A proofreader is responsible for reading through your book to catch any remaining errors or typos before it goes to print. This step ensures that your book is polished and professional before it reaches readers.
After the proofreading stage, your book will be ready for publication. It will be sent to a printing facility if you are publishing a physical book, or it will be prepared for digital publication on various platforms. Your book will then be available for purchase by readers.
