What to expect after submission
Within eight-to-twelve weeks after we receive your mailed packet, a decision will be made whether to proceed to the next stage of review or not. If you do not hear from us, you can assume that your manuscript does not meet our printing agenda for the year.
Generally, if we are interested in reviewing the entire manuscript, the author will hear from us by email. At that time, we will contact you and request submission of the entire manuscript, including a title page, table of contents, page numbers, and the completed text. A further reading fee of $75 will be requested at this time.
After we have reviewed the complete work, a decision will be made whether to proceed to editing, design, formatting, and publication, and the author will be informed. If all terms are agreed upon, a one-year contract will be presented to the client/author and signed. The author may choose to retain the copyright to the book, but the ISBN will remain with PRP, LLC.
If you do not hear from us, please do not be discouraged, but continue to write and submit your work to other editors and publishers until you find a good match!
