FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND PUBLISHING GUIDE

Q. What happens to the book file once WRITERSWORLD has produced it?

It is held on a secure server with a back-up copy.

Q. For reprints, can I have a copy of the scanned file produced from the hard copy?

Yes we can provide you with a copy for a small charge.

Q. Will I get a sample copy to check before the book becomes available for purchase?

Yes, we require you to sign off a proof copy to authorise printing.

Q. Would WRITERSWORLD refuse to print a book if they considered the work to be of insufficient quality?

We would alert the writer to concerns we may have and ask for changes and improvements to be made before proceeding further.

Q. How long does it take to set a title up?

This varies, depending upon the amount of work involved. Obviously, setting up a digital file is much quicker than scanning hard copy, and 50 pages received correctly laid out require less preparation than do 300 pages received with a double carriage return after every line and double spacing between every pair of sentences - all of which has to be stripped out manually. Except in the case of exceptionally complicated layouts, we anticipate a timescale of approximately 60 days from receipt of a digital file to sending a book to print.

Q. How quickly can you print once an order has been received?

Once the title is set up on the system we anticipate supplying print on demand titles within 3 days of the order being received.

Q. Who controls the right to print?

The writer controls the right to print.

Q. Who controls the book rights?

The writer retains all rights.
