FOR AUTHORS

- Always use a font that is easy to read. For example Garamond or Times New Roman.
- Do not use fonts like Comic Sans or Broadway.
Provide an appropriately sized source document
Your source document page size must match the project's format size.* For example, if you upload an 8.5 x 11 document and select 5.5 x 8.5 as the book size, printer scales your document to approximately 75% of the original size. The printed book will have unexpectedly small fonts and images.
We confirm the receipt of all submissions and inform you of our decision regarding your manuscript. Response times can vary and can take up to 2-4 weeks, so please co-operate and be patient during the pre-publishing process.
To change your page size:
- Remember, you must change the size of the actual pages in your file, not just the margins.
- Select the proper size from those available to match your preferred book size
- If a preset size is not listed, enter the required page size.
- Set document pages to Portrait orientation, not Landscape.
