Once you’ve sent us all your images and content, and we’ve agreed on a start date, development normally takes two to four weeks to develop the early version of it and get your first bit of feedback. If you need additional pages of features, it can take a few weeks more than this.
After your feedback has been submitted, we generally allow another one to two weeks for final changes before publishing.

- A short and long description about your book, target audience demographics, book genre, book page count, and ISBN number.
- Version list (hardback, paperback, kindle, etc.), chapter 1 to engage readers (optional), and a list of external sites where visitors can buy your book.
- For series: The series title, description, number of books in the series, and details on how any books or series are connected so we can cross link them.
