Before You Publish: A Manuscript Checklist
A practical starting point for your publishing journey.
Organize your manuscript
Keep chapters in order, use consistent headings and include any front or back matter you want in the book.
Check your text
Read for repeated words, missing passages and inconsistent spelling. An editor can help with deeper improvements.
Confirm your rights
Use only content and images you own or have permission to publish. Keep permissions and attribution details together.
Prepare your brief
Describe your genre, intended readers, preferred tone and publishing goals. This helps your team recommend the right next steps.
