Once the design process is finished, ETC Press editors will export the final print and digital proofs and send those along to the author.
Here is where the process gets a bit tricky. In traditional publishing, authors would read the proof, make corrections on the PDF, and send those back. However, our design templates don’t include pages. For example: If you pull up a book on a phone, a tablet, and a computer, the “page” of the book will depend upon the size of your screen.
What that means is that any changes you make will need to be in the original Microsoft Word document that you originally submitted. This digital proof is really so that you can see what the inside of the book will look like.
Once we’ve made the final changes to the proof, we upload the book to our distributor, Lulu.com. From there, we will order a single galley of the book so that we can make sure everything looks okay. Generally speaking, it takes 5-10 business days for us to receive that copy.
Finally, we will order 3 copies of the book for you
