self publish
John Douglas Publishing Ltd will consider any non-fiction manuscript. We are able to offer an appraisal of your work from professional editors, who will provide you with a written report. The report will make recommendations and will offer an opinion as to whether your manuscript should be published.
After consultation with the author or editor a timeline is produced for the development of the book. Items on the timeline include: writing, editing, proof-reading, cover design, layout, printing and marketing. We enter into written agreements to ensure that everybody has a clear understanding of the legalities involved in publishing. This ensures that at the end of the journey we have produced a book of the highest standard which is highly marketable.
John Douglas Publishing Ltd produces all of its design and layout in-house. The creative team, under the companies art director, produces a mock-up cover design for client approval. This mock-up design is also submitted to distributors and bookshops as a sneak preview.
Decisions are made about the style of body text and overall layout. Initial layout is completed and either digital or printed proofs are sent to clients. When the client is satisfied the book is then sent to the printer.
The printer sends back an advanced copy for proofing and final checking of images and layout. The final product is delivered to a destination of your choice. Arrangements can be made for overseas deliveries.
