The direction
The next step is to define the services and deliverables, discuss the work involved, and agree on the scope before moving forward.
Agree on what the work includes and how it will be reviewed.
The craft
Writing, editorial, or design work takes shape against the agreed brief. Your feedback helps keep the work aligned with the intent of your book.
Bring your perspective to the agreed review points.
The details
Review the content and files included in the scope. This is the moment to consider the fine points and confirm the agreed work is ready for approval.
Check the manuscript, artwork, or layouts relevant to your project.
The next chapter
The approved deliverables come together for your next step. If publishing preparation is part of your scope, its requirements are discussed as part of that work.
Receive the deliverables defined in your project scope.
A process with context
A short manuscript and a complex illustrated book call for different work. Timelines, review stages, file requirements, and service combinations need to reflect that difference.
We'll discuss these details around your project, so the next step is based on your book rather than a standard promise.
