If you've signed a contract with Vinspire Publishing, this page is for you. Here you'll see what happens after you sign your contract, the steps that will be taken to move your book into publication, and what you can expect from us. You can also see some of what we do to promote your book and where your book will be sold.
After You've Signed a Contract...
Shortly after signing your contract, you'll receive a cover art form, a book description form, payment and tax information form, and other forms necessary for us to begin working on your book. You'll be provided with pre-edit guidelines which you'll need to follow. Upon completion, you'll send the pre-edited manuscript back to us where it will go in the queue for editor assignment.
​
You'll also be given the opportunity to provide a dedication for your book as well as any acknowledgements, author notes, and reviews/testimonials you have already received for your title. The timeline for providing this information will be included on the "Required Information" page which will be sent to you.
