THE PUBLICATION PROCESS
Just as a great wedding planner works behind the scenes to shield the bride from the kinks and stress of the process, the Tandem Light Press production team works together to make publishing a seamless process for our authors. We take on the task of publishing and tackling any behind the scenes drama so that you can take on the task of being an author. All you have to do is sit back and approve each phase. We will not move to the next stage in the process until you and the publishing team are thoroghly satisfied. Here is a quick glance of the book production and publishing process.
1. Write = You write your book
2. Edit = We edit your book
3. Identify = We provide identifiers for your book (ISBN, Bar Code, LCCN, copyright)
4. Design = We format your book(illustrations, interior and cover, hard copy and, eBook)
5. Approve = We send you an electronic and printed proof for approval
6. Print = Advance copies are printed and sent to you
7. Promote = We work with you to strategize and implement a book launch plan
8. Sell = Books are listed for sale on mainstream distribution channels (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million)
