Self-Publishing Handbook
It could be a situation involving a high-profile
person, and could be having busy schedules, but
need their stories to be documented. Or it could
be a person who may be requiring to make use of
the research materials, knowledge and experience
of someone else, and to then put these different
features into writing, and – ultimately – a published
work.
Your main responsibility as a shadow writer is
to ensure that the tone of the book is identifiable
to the person you are writing for. As an example,
in documenting the June 1976 Commemorative
Dialogues, I used this method of writing, which is
known as Shadow Writing.
Guidelines for submitting your manuscript
Word count is key in book publishing, as this is
what is going to determine the related costs; from
editing, layout and designing to printing. You only
submit your manuscript for publishing once you
have reached an agreement regarding the price. As
soon as you have accepted the quote, an invoice is
sent, and the proof of payment is then also
confirmed. Then, and only then, can you submit
your manuscript. The process of publishing a book
takes about nine (9) to twelve (12) weeks.
