As soon as I have a release date I'...Hi John! <br /><br />As soon as I have a release date I'll be letting everyone know! <br /><br />Usually the process is a couple of rounds of edits to make any changes that need to be made with the story itself, then it goes to line edits. At the same time someone is working on the cover art. I'd say tentatively maybe the whole process could take 2 months? But it all comes down to when the publisher decides to fit it into their release schedule. I'm not sure how that decision is made, to be honest.

What more does a publishing house have to do once all edits are made? What is a general time frame for a publishing house to complete these tasks?<br /><br />Thanks Lisa!John Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033068456430285343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157842269336262676.post-37689029350535789072015-09-10T11:56:44.396+10:002015-09-10T11:56:44.396+10:00Oh, exactly!

Which is why I can't understand why someone would think they don't need an editor at all. I can only imagine how terrible my manuscripts would be if nobody else was looking at them at all!

Self-pubbed, indie/small publishers, genre authors, mainstream authors with large publishing houses behind them - every single one has had a typo, nonsensical sentence or dropped word (usually there's all three). Even with multiple passes by the author, the beta readers, the editor and proofreader, something will slip by (even ones I've proofread ;-) ). I can't imagine why any anyone would think they're that amazing that they wouldn't need a good editor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000305053422234691noreply@blogger.com
