How Publishing Works

From the moment you submit to the day your royalties arrive, every stage is tracked inside your Author Dashboard. Here is the full journey.

Three kinds of steps

Some steps are handled automatically by our system, some are done by hand by our editorial team, and some need action from you.

The Path

Your manuscript, stage by stage

Submission

You submit your manuscript in English through the submission form. You receive an immediate on-screen and email acknowledgement that your manuscript has been received.

AI Suitability Screening

Behind the scenes, your manuscript is assessed automatically for suitability. This result is internal and is never shown to the author. You simply wait for our editorial decision by email.

Decision E-mail

If your manuscript passes screening, an invitation to proceed is sent to your email automatically. If it does not proceed, you are notified courteously — without internal scores or details.
