The Publishing Process Begins Here

We strive to ensure that our authors’ experience of the publication process is a positive one and that the published book repays the effort involved in writing it. With that in mind, this page provides all the necessary forms and resources that will make the process as smooth as possible and what you can expect from us. Below are the most important documents that will drive the publishing process. Download the relevant ones for your review and the complete the most appropriate book proposal form and return it to us. We urge you to complete the form to the best of your ability and to refrain from skipping any of the questions.
