Begin by connecting with a Publishing Consultant at AuthorNest. Together, you'll discuss your project, goals, and where you are in your publishing journey. Based on your needs, the consultant will recommend the most suitable publishing package — and once you're ready, you can move forward with the one that best aligns with your vision.
Your first point of contact on your self-publishing journey, the Publishing Consultant will guide you through the available services and packages. After understanding your goals and project details, they'll help you choose the option that best fits your needs and vision.
Once you're ready to proceed, the Payment Central Representative will handle the processing of your payment and ensure everything is confirmed. Their role is to facilitate a smooth transition to the next stage of the publishing process.
The Agreement Control (AC) Representative is responsible for walking you through the publishing agreement. Their focus is to ensure you've reviewed and fully understood AuthorNest's Terms and Conditions before signing, giving you clarity and confidence as you begin the publishing process.
At this stage, you will be providing your manuscript along with any specific design preferences, layout instructions, and additional requirements to begin the production process.
Once Onboard, your assigned Project Manager will guide you through the upcoming steps by setting clear expectations around timelines and production processes. They will also ensure that all the necessary materials have been submitted to begin bringing your book to life.
If your publishing package includes an Editorial Assessment—or if you've added it as a separate service—an Editorial Consultant will connect with you to review the evaluation results. They will discuss your manuscript's editing needs and advise whether any additional editorial services are recommended.
Collaborate with our team as we bring your manuscript to life—refining, designing, and preparing it for publication with professional care.

A dedicated team will work on refining and enhancing your manuscript. Proofreaders carefully review the text to eliminate errors, Editors focus on improving clarity and structure, while Designers/Illustrators create engaging layouts and visuals that bring your book to life.

At this stage, your Project Manager will ensure that all aspects of your book align with your expectations. Once everything is in place, they'll request your final approval to proceed with publication.

A member of our Final Quality Assessment (FQA) team will conduct a comprehensive review of your book's design and layout to ensure it meets printer compliance standards. This stage also includes a final proofreading check and revisions based on your submitted requirements.
After your manuscript has gone through all necessary revisions, it is reviewed once more by the Content Evaluator to ensure it still complies with our content guidelines and remains clear of any legal or policy concerns.
Depending on the marketing services selected, different specialists will contribute to your campaign. Writers and researchers craft compelling content such as press releases and promotional blurbs, while designers focus on developing the visual elements of your marketing materials.
The exciting final stage where your book is officially released and made available to readers worldwide, followed by ongoing marketing and support.
