Your Publishing Journey
Becoming a “published” author is both exciting and scary. To ease the anxiety of your journey, we’ve explained the step-by-step process of getting published. You were created for this. Let us guide you.
Did you know that new or little-known authors are sometimes required to commit to selling and/or purchasing 5,000 to 15,000 books their first year? And many publishers require their authors to purchase hundreds and hundreds of physical copies from the publisher while also reimbursing the publisher for their potential royalties of 20-45%? These hidden costs and mark-ups can literally break the bank for aspiring authors. These additional costs can easily accrue upwards of $15,000-$50,000+ in financial commitment and that is before paying for advertising and paying the publisher a large commission ranging from 20-45% of all sales.
Manuscript Submission
Our company publishes titles of all genres including fiction, non-fiction, children’s, reference, poetry, and biographical. Step one in your journey to becoming published is to submit your manuscript to us. Once submitted our executive team will review your manuscript to assess its potential fit with God Manifest Publishing. To assure the integrity of our company, we are very selective as to manuscripts we accept as titles. Only a small percentage of manuscripts submitted will be chosen by our executive team for publication. Once you submit your manuscript, our team will be in touch within 10 business days with our decision.
Proofreading + Copy-editing
There’s an industry saying, “Great writers are only as good as their proofreaders and editors.” We have found that this is true. A well-edited book will help your creation come alive and prevent embarrassing mistakes. Once your manuscript is accepted, it will go through an in-depth proofreading and editing process. Our team of professionals will comb through every chapter, paragraph, sentence, comma, hyphen, semicolon, colon, and period to make sure your story is told in the tone, voice, and clarity your readers will love. Our editors adhere to the industry standard Chicago Manual of Style when editing your manuscript.
Design + eBook Conversion
Once your manuscript has been proofread and copy-edited, our team of designers will bring your manuscript alive with a custom cover design and page layout. Our designers will work with you to design a one-of-a-kind book cover that will capture the full essence of your story. If you have a children’s book, we will assign our award-winning illustrators to bring your book to life. Once the design of your book is complete, our digital team will convert your publication into an eBook format that will be available on over 100 major platforms.
Marketing + Publicity
Our marketing and publicity campaigns are customized for every book we publish. Your story is unique and deserves a unique solution. God Manifest Publishing will craft a press release campaign that ensures the launch of your book reaches the readers you intend. In addition to the customized press release campaign, our team of web programmers will also create a custom web page for each author within our own website. This individual page contains detailed information about the author as well as the book cover art of each of their books (even if one or more of the books is not published through us), a synopsis of each book, and a direct link to the purchase on Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com or preferred retailer.
Distribution + Royalty Management
Our authors do not need to worry about mundane issues such as providing book stores with copies of books, handling returns, shipping issues, credit cards, and other frustrating and time-consuming issues. Your assigned Success Manager will handle all of the back-office work so that you can start writing your next masterpiece. God Manifest Publishing partners with Ingram, the world’s largest book distributor to distribute your book to over 35,000 online retailers and over 100 ebook retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, Nook, Google Books, and Apple Books.
