From Inspiration to Creation!
These are the steps to publishing your book…
- The music must either be your own original work, licensed, or in the public domain to be published
- You submit the music to us in audio, manuscript, or notation software format
- You prepare any text in Word or other text document
- You decide on the page size for your book: 9″×12″ (Industry Standard), 8 1/2″ by 11″ (Letter-sized), Octavo (Choral), or other
- You submit any diagrams, illustrations, photos or other visual images, or we can design them for you
- We can transcribe your music if necessary
Then…
- We can edit your text manuscript if not professionally done
- We assist you in choosing a page layout, overall design and fonts, and cover art
- You choose the binding style (saddle-stitch, perfect-bound or spiral)
- We engrave your music, or work from your notation files, and layout and format your book
- We do final text or music editing, including any corrections and changes on your first proof
- You specify the number of copies for print, or we give you a final PDF for your printer or POD (Print-on-demand) site
