Afranio, I can give you the schedule for one of the books I worked on with a traditional publisher (book: More Time for You; Publisher: AMACOM) if that will help. It might take a day or two to pull it together from the emails.but I could give you the date the proposal was submitted, contract signed, manuscript submitted, galleys proofed, book submitted to print, date available in stores. Do you want a timeline for what it takes when I help authors self-publish books? Cheers, Claudia Claudia Gere & Co.

I was hoping if someone could help me out with my final project. I need to find out about the life cycle of a book when the writer writes it until the final distribution. I need just average numbers like it takes 3 months from start to finish, 1 week of editing, 2 months of publicity..... I am using the Publishing TrendSetter website and their picture to help me out. The more details the better. With famous books do they put the online version first or physical at the same time as e-books ? If you could suggest a website that contains more information, I would really appreciated that. Thanks in advance, Afranio Torres -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
