We publish manuscripts based on word count and timelines. Some authors want their manuscripts produced faster than others while some authors want a more thorough and prolonged publishing process to allow for greater visibility and time to build anticipation for their works.
This breakdown of our services is not meant to be exact but a guide as to how we approach manuscripts of varying word counts and the author’s desired timelines. We also take into account how much credence authors want pertaining to their work; while all services are not necessary, some authors go to great lengths to protect their intellectual property and we want to respect that as much as possible.
Email us at submissions@sevenstorypublishing.com and let us know which timeline you’re interested in and we will discuss all the details with you.
