Submissions

Publishers Accepting Submissions | Austin Macauley Publishers The criteria for evaluating your book include the quality of the content, the writing style and the extent of the commercial potential. Assuming they wish to go ahead, our team would then make the decision to offer either a standard contract or a partnership contract. Even if your submission is rejected on this occasion, please do not give up hope! If you resubmit a revised manuscript, you may be offered a publishing contract. If you are offered a partnership contract, you will be required to make an investment to cover a portion of the cost towards professionally publishing your title.

Production

Once you choose to go ahead with publication, our production team will start by sending you a questionnaire to find out more about you and your book. The production stage requires time to develop your book to a standard ready for publishing, and your patience will be appreciated! Your manuscript is proofread, typeset and illustrated (where applicable) and the cover is designed. Depending on your contract, AMP may also substantially revise your manuscript. The finishing touch is the back cover text (‘blurb’), often a collaboration between the author and the publisher. As part of the curation and management of the book’s metadata, your book is given an ISBN, which makes it accessible to our distributors and stores internationally across paperback, hardback and eBook formats.Book PR and Production | Austin Macauley Publishers
