Now you are ready to publish! Before we get started, you will need to make sure you complete the following directions. Remember, upon receipt of your manuscript, it will take 2-4 weeks to complete your book.
If you have any questions about our Color Platinum Plan or about any of our other self publishing plans, please click the live chat icon to the right to speak with one of our representatives.
Manuscript. Make sure you have your entire manuscript, including table of contents available in electronic form. We ask that this be in MSWORD or any other text based program. If you would like, we also have a template for you to use on MSWORD for our format. Just click here and download. Using our template will ensure even faster results!
Contact information. Please include full name, physical address, phone number, and 2 working e-mails. Please indicate which e-mail is your primary and secondary e-mail. If you are planning to send in check or money order, all information needed will be listed on your order form.
Photos and Cover Concept. This is optional, however a lot of our writers like to design their own covers. Of course, we ask there be certain restrictions on images, such as all photo files must be 300dpi (pixels/inch) or above and all cover concepts must be coherent in style and layout.
Payment. Your total costs for this plan is $950.00 (20-80 page book). Please click below for the payment method you want to use:
Please note, all international customers must make sure their check or money order is made payable in US funds only.
Submit Your Manuscript. Once payment is made, please send your manuscript via e-mail to our editors here. If you are paying with check or money order, please mail your manuscripts on a CD disk or 3.5" floppy disk along with your order form. Also, don't forget to indicate the trim size of your book: 5.5x8.5, 8.5x8.5, or 8x10.
Submit Your Cover Art. If you have a cover concept and have pictures pertaining to your cover art, please e-mail (must be separate from Manuscript) any material to our editors at Wasteland Press. If the file size is greater then 15 MB in size, please let us know and we can make other arrangements.
Congratulations on choosing our Color Platinum Plan! You will be contacted within the next 24 hours via e-mail. Thank you and we look forward to working with you!
